ACF: Field Selector

The filed selector field allows the selection of other custom fields. This is useful in situations where you want to give the user powerful display options. You could, for example, allow the user to select which custom fields are displayed in a post.

ACF Compatibility

This ACF field type is compatible with both ACF 4 and ACF 5.

3. Create a new field via ACF and select the Role Selector type

For Developers

For developers I’ve included a filter which allows you to further filter selected fields. At the moment this filter is used to make sure that included and excluded types and groups are reflected in the selectable list.

add_filter( 'acffsf/item_filters', 'selectable_item_filter', 10, 2 )

The first parameter is the list of items to modify, the second is the setting field.
