firstly i created a select dropdownlist using acf that dynamically populate like this:
add_filter('acf/load_field/name=chef', 'my_acf_load_chef_field');
function my_acf_load_chef_field( $field )
{
$user_fields = array( 'user_login');
$argu = new WP_User_Query( array( 'role' => 'chef' , 'fields' => $user_fields ));
$choices = $argu->get_results();
//$choices = get_field($field['choices'], $post->ID , false);
$field['choices'] = array();
if( is_array($choices) ) {
$len = count($choices);
for($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++) {
array_push($field['choices'], ($choices[$i]->user_login));
}
}
return $field;
and it worked well in retrieving data but when i select the wanted chef it save my ACF key instead of the value in post meta value field_5cf49fa0651bb like this
i want to insert the selected value in mysql
