ACF Post Object to Single Layout

[thnicholl]

Hi there,

Quick question about returning data from the Post Object ACF field to Single Layouts.

I’m building a site with step-by-step guides. Each guide has a main page/hub then a series of individual steps (one page = one step).

The step pages are using a single layout in Cornerstone. And I’ve assigned a Post Object field to these pages so you can select the parent hub page. I would like to then pull that page title and link and insert into my single layout. How can I achieve this? Ran it through chat GPT and it suggested {{dc:acf:post_field field=“parent_guide” return=“post_title”}} … but that didn’t work.

Hope this all makes sense.

Thanks,

Thibault

Hey @thnicholl,

Change the return format of your ACF Post Object field to Post ID:

And then you may use this dynamic element to display the Page Title:
{{dc:post:title post="{{dc:acf:post_field field="parent_guide"}}"}}

Hope this helps.
