Does this work for creating items? about wp-graphql-acf-mutations HOT 4 CLOSED

Oh my gosh, I think the issue was that I had a custom field named status causing the issue or maybe it was just posting as a PUBLISH status but I am good now, it is working. Thank you so much for your help!

Hello, yes. The acf-meta values should also be available for creating and updating. Can you elaborate more on the issue you are facing by providing the acf fields code as well :)

Hello, thanks for the reply! Sorry I'm a bit of a wordpress noob so I might be overlooking something simple. What do you mean by acf fields code? I might be missing that part. I have a custom post type and then I added acf fields to it in the wordpress admin panel and then added this plugin. If I have an item created already, I can use the updateItem mutation to update the acf fields and that works.
However if I use the createItem mutation, none of those acf fields are saved and the item doesn't appear in the Items list in wordpress. I see the item in the wp_posts table with a status of available but there are no rows for the meta fields for that item, I can see rows for the meta data for the one that was created from the wordpress admin panel.

I have just verified using the examples below and it does work. One point to note is to use status: PUBLISH in order to see it using a simple query.

As to why you cant see it in the postmeta, finding the post meta for a specific post_id. this will filter it :)

Hope this helps
