Update relations with Advanced Custom Fields

[develop-euro]

I installed Orbis theme+plugin which brought me to posts to posts. I used ACF (v5) to create a front-end table that displays lots of information about each project and each line (each project) has a form where it's possible to update several fields. One of them should be the relation between projects and persons (two custom post-types). I belive that what I should do is create an action that updates the connections to that post (project) every time the ACF field value is updated. From what I found I can use this to trigger the action when the ACF field is updated . But I have no idea how to do the rest. Any help?

add_filter('acf/update_value/name=person', ...

You'll have to create the connections programmatically https://github.com/scribu/wp-posts-to-posts/wiki/Creating-connections-programmatically

Hi,

I was wondering if you managed to achieve this at all?

I'd like to be able to attach ACF fields to the relationship between 2 posts, but struggling to figure out the best way of doing it, and so far have come up with nothing!

Thanks

If you want to do it all in ACF, then P2P probably isn't what you need. Stick with ACF https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/bidirectional-relationships/
