Return ACF field label and other data in API

oktalk commented 6 years ago

It seems like a bug that only the value is returned in the API for ACF fields. The ACF API JSON data currently resembles this:

...
acf: {
    ...
    length: "22",
    engine_drive_type: "automatic"
    ....
}
...

Why can't it look like this:

acf: {
    ....
    length: {
        label: "Length",
        name: "length",
        type: "text",
        value:"22",
        ...
    },
    engine_drive_type: {
        label: "Engine Drive Type",
        name: "engine_drive_type",
        type: "text",
        value: "automatic",
        ...
    }
    ....
}

Hi @oktalk,

Can you export your fields groups to me?

Custom Fields ( menu item ) > Tools > Export Field Groups

Thanks

Wow! This has everything. Why isn't all this data in the API?
