    OK, and for anybody who has the same conditions that the previous user has, here is a demo form:

    https://sandfdev.cdnwebservices.net/shop/

    There are 5 ‘posts’, each has one ‘date’, each in a different year (2016-2020 inclusive).

    The ‘Year’ field is based on a custom field named first_date_from, and this is an ACF date field with a single date saved in the format YYYYMMDD.

    The code below is pasted in to the child theme functions.php file:

    function update_date_field_options($input_object, $sfid){
    	// ensure we are only filtering the correct field name in the correct form - in this case the field we want to filter has the name '_sfm_first_date_from', based on the field name 'first_date_from'
    	if( $input_object['name'] == '_sfm_first_date_from' && $sfid == 42 ) {
    		
    		// if we want to filter the options generated, we need to make sure the options variable actually exists before proceeding (its only available to certain field types)
    		if( ! isset( $input_object['options'] ) ) {
    			return $input_object;
    		}
    		//udpate this field before rendering
    		//all the options are stored in $input_object['options'] as an array
    		$new_options = array();
    
    		//create a new "default" option
    		$new_option = new StdClass();
    		$new_option->value = "";
    		$new_option->label = "All Years";
    		array_push($new_options, $new_option);	
    	
    		//create a new range option we want to add
    		$new_option = new StdClass();
    		$new_option->value = "20160101+20161231"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
    		$new_option->label = "2016"; //the label can be anything
    		array_push($new_options, $new_option);//create a new range option we want to add
    
    		$new_option = new StdClass();
    		$new_option->value = "20170101+20171231"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
    		$new_option->label = "2017"; //the label can be anything
    		array_push($new_options, $new_option);//create a new range option we want to add
    
    		$new_option = new StdClass();
    		$new_option->value = "20180101+20181231"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
    		$new_option->label = "2018"; //the label can be anything
    		array_push($new_options, $new_option);//create a new range option we want to add
    
    		$new_option = new StdClass();
    		$new_option->value = "20190101+20191231"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
    		$new_option->label = "2019"; //the label can be anything
    		array_push($new_options, $new_option);//create a new range option we want to add
    
    		$new_option = new StdClass();
    		$new_option->value = "20200101+20201231"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
    		$new_option->label = "2020"; //the label can be anything
    		array_push($new_options, $new_option);//create a new range option we want to add
    
    		//now replace the options with our own custom options:
    		$input_object['options'] = $new_options;
    	}
    	return $input_object;
    }
    
    add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'update_date_field_options', 10, 2);

    I hope you can see how it works by actually sending a date range of 1 Jan to 31 Dec of each year to the form. So, if you want more years, add them as you need.

    This is how the field is set:

    Hi Jessica

    I think I see what is happening!

    So I just tried your code (albeit changed it for my setup) and the strangest thing was happening, I was getting some checkboxes with labels missing, and some working just fine.

    I then realised (and didn’t know) that at least for checkboxes, the array of options must be in order.

    So unsetting specific values leaves “holes” in the array, that for some reason our checkbox code can’t work around for now.

    Instead I did this (push the wanted options, into a new array):

    function filter_input_object($input_object, $sfid) {
    	if( !in_array( $input_object['name'], array('_sft_pa_color') ) ) {
    		return $input_object;
    	}
    
    	if( $input_object['name'] == '_sft_pa_color' ) {
    		$new_options = array();
    		foreach($input_object['options'] as $key => $option) {
    			if ( in_array( $option->value, array( 'gray', 'green') ) ) {
    				$new_options[] = $option;
    			}
    		}
    		$input_object['options'] = $new_options;
    	}
    	return $input_object;
    }
    add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'filter_input_object', 10, 2);

    Another way would be to keep your code exactly the way it was, but before returning $input_object do:

    $input_object['options'] = array_values( $input_object['options'] );

    This will effectively reset the indexes too.

    Let me know how you get on!

    Thanks

    With a date field, there are only two ways I can think to do this.

    1. Have an additional custom field in the posts where one of those 3 labels is the choice.
    2. Use code. How this would work is:

    # Set the form UI field to a number range field, like this (in this case I chose a radio field, but a dropdown would also work, I think):

    https://www.screencast.com/t/rpY6G9KLnX

    Ignore my field name! Use what you have as a field name.

    Then add code like this to your child theme functions.php file (change the field name, form ID number and dates to work for you):

    function update_field_options($input_object, $sfid){
    	
    	// ensure we are only filtering the correct field name in the correct form - in this case the field we want to filter has the name '_sfm_first_date_to', based on the field name 'first_date_to'
    	if( $input_object['name'] == '_sfm_first_date_to' && $sfid == 42 ) {
    		
    		// if we want to filter the options generated, we need to make sure the options variable actually exists before proceeding (its only available to certain field types)
    		if( ! isset( $input_object['options'] ) ) {
    			return $input_object;
    		}
    		//udpate this field before rendering
    		//all the options are stored in $input_object['options'] as an array
    		$new_options = array();
    
    		//create a new "default" option
    		$new_option = new StdClass();
    		$new_option->value = "";
    		$new_option->label = "All Ages";
    		array_push($new_options, $new_option);	
    	
    		//create a new range option we want to add
    		$new_option = new StdClass();
    		$new_option->value = "19900101+29991231"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
    		$new_option->label = "Latest"; //the label can be anything
    		array_push($new_options, $new_option);//create a new range option we want to add
    
    		$new_option = new StdClass();
    		$new_option->value = "0+19561231"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
    		$new_option->label = "Golden Age"; //the label can be anything
    		array_push($new_options, $new_option);
    
    		$new_option = new StdClass();
    		$new_option->value = "19570101+19891231"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
    		$new_option->label = "Silver Age"; //the label can be anything
    		array_push($new_options, $new_option);
    
    		//now replace the options with our own custom options:
    		$input_object['options'] = $new_options;
    	}
    	return $input_object;
    }
    
    add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'update_field_options', 10, 2);

    You can see what it looks like on this demo I made (it is not functional as the data does not match!!):

    https://sandfdev.cdnwebservices.net/shop/

    I hope that makes sense!

    It assumes that the date data is correctly stored in ACF/SQL date format(YYYYMMDD).

    I think it should be this:

    function update_range_field_mileage($input_object, $sfid)
    {
    //make sure we affect the '_sfm_standby_power_esp_kvs_nr' field only
    if($input_object['name']=='_sfm_standby_power_esp_kvs_nr' && $sfid==1893)
    {
    //udpate this field before rendering
    //all the options are stored in $input_object['options'] as an array
    $new_options = array();
    
    //create a new "default" option
    $new_option = new StdClass();
    $new_option->value = "";
    $new_option->label = "kVA";
    array_push($new_options, $new_option);
    
    //create a new range option we want to add
    $new_option = new StdClass();
    $new_option->value = "10+50"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
    $new_option->label = "10 – 50"; //the label can be anything
    array_push($new_options, $new_option);//create a new range option we want to add
    
    $new_option = new StdClass();
    $new_option->value = "51+200"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
    $new_option->label = "51 – 200"; //the label can be anything
    array_push($new_options, $new_option);
    
    $new_option = new StdClass();
    $new_option->value = "201+400"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
    $new_option->label = "201 – 400"; //the label can be anything

    $new_option = new StdClass();
    $new_option->value = "401+700"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
    $new_option->label = "401 – 700"; //the label can be anything

    }
    
    return $input_object;
    }

    Hi

    Great to speak with you Sasha. The link for the main function was this:

    https://support.searchandfilter.com/forums/topic/range-overlap/#post-231607

    Testing the form id would make it look like this:

    function update_range_field_mileage($input_object, $sfid)
    {
    	//make sure we affect the '_sfm_mileage' field only, and only in form ID 12345
    	if( $sfid == 12345 && $input_object['name']=='_sfm_mileage' )
    	{
    		//udpate this field before rendering
    		//all the options are stored in <code>$input_object['options']</code> as an array
    		$new_options = array();
    		
    		//create a new "default" option
    		$new_option = new StdClass();
    		$new_option->value = "";
    		$new_option->label = "KM Stand";
    		array_push($new_options, $new_option);
    		
    		//create a new range option we want to add
    		$new_option = new StdClass();
    		$new_option->value = "0+49999"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
    		$new_option->label = "0 - 49999"; //the label can be anything
    		array_push($new_options, $new_option);//create a new range option we want to add
    		
    		$new_option = new StdClass();
    		$new_option->value = "50000+99999"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
    		$new_option->label = "50000 - 99999"; //the label can be anything
    		array_push($new_options, $new_option);
    		
    		$new_option = new StdClass();
    		$new_option->value = "100000+150000"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
    		$new_option->label = "100000 - 150000"; //the label can be anything

    Hi Patrick

    It’s not possible within the UI, but you can use a filter to manually update a fields options (and values):
    https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/action-filter-reference/#filter-input-object

    I’ve done a test, and here is the code you would need to affect your mileage field (copy to functions.php in your child theme):

    function update_range_field_mileage($input_object, $sfid)
    {
    	//make sure we affect the '_sfm_mileage' field only
    	if($input_object['name']=='_sfm_mileage')
    	{
    		//udpate this field before rendering
    		//all the options are stored in <code>$input_object['options']</code> as an array
    		$new_options = array();
    		
    		//create a new "default" option
    		$new_option = new StdClass();
    		$new_option->value = "";
    		$new_option->label = "KM Stand";
    		array_push($new_options, $new_option);
    		
    		//create a new range option we want to add
    		$new_option = new StdClass();
    		$new_option->value = "0+49999"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
    		$new_option->label = "0 - 49999"; //the label can be anything
    		array_push($new_options, $new_option);//create a new range option we want to add
    		
    		$new_option = new StdClass();
    		$new_option->value = "50000+99999"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
    		$new_option->label = "50000 - 99999"; //the label can be anything
    		array_push($new_options, $new_option);
    		
    		$new_option = new StdClass();
    		$new_option->value = "100000+150000"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
    		$new_option->label = "100000 - 150000"; //the label can be anything
    		array_push($new_options, $new_option);
    		
    		
    		//now replace the options with our own custom options:
    		$input_object['options'] = $new_options;
    	}
    	
    	return $input_object;
    }
    add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'update_range_field_mileage', 10, 2);

    I have a range field with number inputs. I’ve figured out how to empty the default values out using the ‘sf_input_object_pre’ filter. However, when doing this I get 0 search results upon submitting the form. Basically, I’d like for this field to be optional. How can I achieve this?
