ACF custom post type with date picker field not visible in cornerstone

Hi

I have created a custom post type called events. I have added 3 fields to the field group for events :- event_date event_time and a link field (which links to another custom post type of artis)

When i come to build my layout i can display the event name using {{dc:post:title}}
and the artist with {{dc:post:meta key=“artist”}} (although this just presents a number at present)

but when i try to display the event date or event time they are not listed under ACF fields in the dynamic content builder nor can i add them manually by using something like {{dc:post:meta key=“event_date”}}

its as if they are not registered with wordpress

Just solved this by installing JSM Show Post Metadata plugin to try and see what was going on. This showed me that no event_date or event_time meta data had been stored henc the fields not being pulled through.
Once i had added some data to the events custom posts it all started working.

I am posting this to help others how might get into this situation and miss the simple step of adding test data to to the custom post type

Thanks for sharing the information, it will help others.
