Hi,

I created a ACF field group with 10 items. Item 2-9 will be displayed based on the selection from first dropdown item. This ACF field group work great under each post. I try to re-use the same structure under Search & Filter by using this ACF post meta. I couldn’t get it to work. Is it even possible to do it? Thanks!

Example:
ACF Field group order #1 is Departments
ACF Field group order #2-#9 are teams under each department.
The team name under #2-#9 will be displayed based on the department.

This type of functionality is likely to appear in V3 of our plugin in the New Year. How many fields does your form have, and are these all based on different source custom fields?

I have 10 fields for this ACF. They are in the same field group. Field #1 is top level department. Fields #2-#9 are 2nd level. They will only be displayed when user select the #1 department.

Before we have V3 comes out next year, which way you will recommend we use to achieve what customer wants by using Search & Filter Pro? Thanks!

Try this then. To do this, 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
