WAIT: Frontend Form doesn’t update ACF Field

Bugs
1

I’m on Bricks 2.1.3. I created a From with a frontend action on a template for a single post. It displays the value correctly from the acf field {acf_probelokal} in the form field and if I set it to update the post content, it updates the content in the post. But if I set it to update the original acf field {acf_probelokal}, it does not update it.

Hi @Lettratobi,

I am unable to replicate the issue locally. Is there a chance that you:

  • Record a step by step video of you structure and how to replicate the issue.
  • Copy-paste the JSON of the form here, so I have the same as you.

Let’s see if I’ll be able to replicate it then.

Thank you,
Matej

Hi Matej

Sorry for not responding in a long time. Is there a way I can give you access to the site and you can take a look for yourself? Showing the whole setup in a video is quite difficult in this case, I think.

Hi @Lettratobi,

you can send temporary login credentials to the help@bricksbuilder.io using the email address you used during the purchase. Then I can take a look at it :slight_smile:
If possible, send it to the staging website, where I can freely test this out. :folded_hands:

And of course, a link to the page with the form :slight_smile:

Best regards,
Matej

I managed to solve this. Turns out the Value for the Field Key in “Update Post > Post Meta > Meta Key” is a different value than the value in “Fields > Value”. In “Update Post” you have to not include the “acf_” prefix. So it’s just {fieldname} whereas in “Fields” you have to enter {acf_fieldname}.

What made it confusing was that they’re not the same and even if you enter the value through the “Dynamic data” menu in Bricks, it adds it with the “acf_”.
