WIP: Dynamic text fallbacks and word limits

[ryanmvickerman]

Do dynamic text fallbacks not work for text with word limits? Seems like something that should work but, it doesn’t for me.

I have a basic text element with the following dynamic data tag:
{acf_blog-lede @fallback: {post_excerpt}}

When I remove word limits, it works. Bug or am I doing it wrong?

Hi @ryanmvickerman,

thank you for your bug report. I was able to replicate it and I’ve added it to our local bug tracker.

As a workaround, you could add a word limit directly to the post_excerpt dynamic tag, like:
{acf_label @fallback:{post_excerpt:5}}

Thank you,
Matej
