ACF Select/Dropdown values | WordPress.org

[ad_1]

Hello, I’m building a site that uses ACF to add more custom user meta fields. The problem I’m running into is that we have dropdown fields whose values (for the database) are different from the display values that get shown to users. In ACF, this is accomplished by formatting the options like this, as an example:

49 : Alaska
50 : Hawaii

But in Ultimate Member, using the Profile editing form I can’t find a way to distinguish the value from the label. Ideally I’d like to be able to pull the options automatically from ACF, since it will be a maintenance headache to have to update options in two different places.

If this isn’t possible, then I guess I’ll have to switch to creating a custom profile editing page using ACF only. Thanks for any help.
