Swap ACF Value and Label in filters

Hi Trevor,

How are you?
Is it possible to create a hook that shows the html input value attributes in form labels instead of the label values, and adds the label value to a new or existing custom html attribute?

This is for creating JS tooltips for filter values. I was making something with JS but this seems not possible because of the dynamic handling of item counting at the end of the label value.

Thanks for thinking about this 🙂

The only hook we have is this, I don’t know if it will let you do what you want?

It works perfect, thanks!

if(!isset($input_object['options']))
	{
		return $input_object;
	}
	//now we know there are options we can loop through each one, and change what we need
	foreach($input_object['options'] as $option)
	{
        if($option->value=="")
		{//the option with no value is always the "all items" or unselected state
			
		}
        else
		{//we want to change the label for the option "black" - we can feed back in the count number to the label for this field type
            $option->attributes['title'] = $option->label;
            $option->label =  $option->value ." (".$option->count.")";
		}
	}
