I have a custom post type that uses Advanced Custom Fields to store a custom status such as “Sold Out” or “Coming Soon”. I want to create an individual checkbox field for each post with “Coming Soon” as the custom status. The status of the posts will be changing often, so the dynamically generated checkbox fields will also be changing often.
On the documentation page for checkboxes, it says:
“Important: Once the form has entries the choices should not be changed. Adding, removing, re-ordering, or renaming checkbox choices will result in the input ids associated with the choices changing which could break the connection to the choices already stored in the existing entries and prevent them being exported.”
Since the checkboxes will be changing frequently, is there a way for me to avoid the potential issue with breaking the connection to the choices already stored in existing entries? I was thinking of using the post ID as the field ID for each checkbox, however there will also be a second field associated with every post/checkbox, so I’m not sure how to go about this.
Thanks for any advice you can give.
