How can I ensure that the data saved by an Advanced Custom Fields Relationship field, when on an Options page for a Post type, is separate?
Detail below:
I have an ACF field group, “Features”, containing a Relationship field.
It is intended to allow me to pre-set some featured posts for a couple of custom post types – “Reports” and “Articles”.
For those post types, in the same code that registers each post type, I have created an Options sub-page like this…
// Support showcase Features for this post type, via ACF
if( function_exists('acf_add_options_page') ) {
// add sub page
acf_add_options_sub_page(array(
'page_title' => 'Articles Features',
'menu_title' => 'Articles Features',
'menu_slug' => 'articles-features',
'capability' => 'edit_posts',
'parent_slug' => 'edit.php?post_type=article',
'position' => false,
'icon_url' => false
));
}
The same goes for “Reports”.
And then I apply the “Features” field group to both Options sub-pages – “Articles Features” and “Reports Features”.
The problem is… the data is the same.
That is, the six Relationship posts set for “Reports Features” also show up in the Options sub-page for “Articles Features”. Changing one Relationship field overwrites the other.
How can I ensure that these two things are separate, so that I can save the features distinctly per post type, without recreating the field group?
