Bidirectional not working

    Hello,
    I have 2 fields inside 2 different field groups:
    – a “Users List” field of type “User” in a “Group of Users” field group attached to a CPT
    – a “User Groups” of type “Post Object” in another field group attached to each User
    These 2 fields are set bidirectional one to another. “Allow Null” and “Select multiple values” are set to True.

    When I add values, the bidirectional link work on both ways.
    The problem is that when I remove values, the pair field doesn’t update.

    What to do?
    Thank you!

    I solved it. The problem was because of the ACF Custom Database Tables plugin. I chose not to save the data in the postmeta table and that’s why the sync could not be done correctly.

    Hello,

    Sorry for the late answer, I was very busy lately. I’m glad to see that you fixed your issue. I never had the time to check the code of ACF Custom Database Tables plugin, so I don’t know how they achieve their feature.

    The ACF Extended Bi-Directional setting respect the ACF methodology to update field values, so the feature should be compatible with any other plugin which respect it too.

    Regards.
