    Hi,

    I really like this Plugin! It works as it should!

    Except – as I wrote in the Title – ACF field additions and inputs are not updated/shown.

    We have a few ACF Fields (Car related). They are not shown in the Frontend – these Fields are just for the authors.

    So we have Car Manufacture, Model, Type and Engine.

    In one case – we added a new Manufacture. This is shown on the Article Edit Screen.
    Put in all the usual Stuff.

    The other case – an existing Car (with its ACF Fields) gets his values updated.

    In both cases, the values are not shown in the S&F Form.

    We did empty the cache (WP Rocket), did a cache rebuild, empty cache directly on the ACF Input page – and so on.

    We use the local.json File for the ACF – the new fields are displayed there too.

    Are there any other things, we should do or look at, to update the content?

    Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

    Best regards
    Martin

    With fields made by ACF, when selecting the meta key, note a ‘gotcha’ with ACF ….

    … it makes 3 meta keys per field, like this (in this example for a field named ‘land’):

    #1 _land
    #2 field_52f0fc4334f52
    #3 land

    In our Meta Key selection list, you need to use key #3, without the underscore at the start of the key name. If you choose #1 by mistake, in the field choices you will see the name of #2.

    Thank you, now it works!

    Another problem has now emerged.

    I have the car brands via ACF.
    Depending on the brand, a selection for the corresponding car model appears.

    This selection is for example declared as the “details_mercedes_modelle” field.

    Can it even work in such a way that when a brand has been selected that the associated values are displayed in the “Model” dropdown?

    Usually I would have to put in all “Car Model” Dropdowns?

    Or do I have to define the Car Model selections as a “group” in the ACF?

    Thanks again for your help!

    Best regards

    With regard to the filters updating, in the General Setting tab, set Auto Count (both settings) to ON

    And then in the Form UI:

    In each field set Hide Empty set to ON

    If I understand it correctly – I would have to place all Dropdowns with “Post Meta” and set them to Hide Empty?

    I tried this with a few – but on initial loading, all of them are shown…

    Best regards

    Ah, you want the fields themselves to disappear (field dependency). Do all the terms disappear, but not the fields themselves? Our Hide Empty feature only applies to the terms. Whilst this may change for V3, the only way to do that now would be some custom javascript. Just how that might work, I am not sure, but I have no snippets to share for that, sorry.

    Ok, thank you for your help!

    I´m looking forward for this feature!

    For now, we don´t have that much of articles, so we just make it with the one Car Manufacturer Dropdown.

    Thanks again!
    Have a nice evening!

    Best regards
