ACF field filtering not working

    Hi,
    Many thanks for this useful plugin!

    I’m trying to filter a simple true/false checkbox that I put on my pages with ACF, with this query which comes out empty:
    /wp-json/wp/v2/pages?filter[meta_key]=appevents&filter[meta_value]=true

    If I’m creating a meta field directly with WP, I can do the key AND value filtering, and this one is correctly displaying the pages that I tested my checkbox with:
    /wp-json/wp/v2/pages?filter[meta_key]=appevents

    I’m not sure where I could have made a mistake in my ACF config, as it only has a rule to check if it’s a page, and a true/false field which has “appevents” as its name. I tried using another type of field, but it changed nothing.

    Am I getting something wrong here?

    Thanks!

    I can make it work by using a manual textfield, and filtering for a specific text:
    /wp-json/wp/v2/pages?filter[meta_key]=appevents&filter[meta_value]=oui

    So the problem is that the TRUE/FALSE ACF component doesn’t store the field as the text “true”, right?

    Anyway, this is a minor inconvenience, thanks again for the plugin!

    PS: Sorry if my english is bad, I’m french.

    Hello, thanks for your message. We’ve encountered similar issue before. I’ve added it to future roadmap.

    For your question, sometime ACF stores boolean value as 0 & 1, can you please verify if ‘/wp-json/wp/v2/pages?filter[meta_key]=appevents&filter[meta_value]=1’ works?
