Bidirectional fields: CPT and Users – update on User import

Hi there,

Bidirectional fields are working great when:

• Adding a User to the Company Post Type
• Adding a Company to the User

This doesn’t update when importing Users with a Company ID attached.

• When Users are imported, the Company is correctly added
• The User is not shown though on the Company Post Type’s Users field

I have tried adding the following to functions (the first can be ignored)

add_action('admin_init', 'my_acf_update_bidirectional_posts');
function my_acf_update_bidirectional_posts(){
    
    // bail early if ajax request
    if(wp_doing_ajax()){
        return;
    }
    
    // Retrieve all pages
    $get_posts = get_posts(array(
        'post_type'         => 'r4l_companies',
        'posts_per_page'    => -1,
        'fields'            => 'ids',
    ));
    
    // Bail early if not found
    if(empty($get_posts)){
        return;
    }
    
    // Force bidirectional update
    add_filter('acfe/bidirectional/force_update', '__return_true');
    
    // Loop
    foreach($get_posts as $post_id){
        
        // Retrieve unformatted value
        $my_field = get_field('field_6185189802029', $post_id, false);
        
        // Re-update the same value to force the update on the other side
        update_field('field_6185189802029', $my_field, $post_id);
        
    }
    
}

and:

add_action('admin_init', 'my_acf_update_bidirectional_posts');
function my_acf_update_bidirectional_posts(){
    
    // bail early if ajax request
    if(wp_doing_ajax()){
        return;
    }
    
    // Retrieve all users
    $get_users = get_users(array(
        'number'            => '-1',
    ));
    
    // Bail early if not found
    if(empty($get_users)){
        return;
    }
    
    // Force bidirectional update
    add_filter('acfe/bidirectional/force_update', '__return_true');
    
    // Loop
    foreach($get_users as $user_id){
        
        // Retrieve unformatted value
        $my_field = get_field('field_6185189802029', 'user_'. $user_id, false);
        
        // Re-update the same value to force the update on the other side
        update_field('field_6185189802029', $my_field, $user_id);
        
    }
    
}

(I have used both the field names and keys).

Would it be possible to help with this? ??

Thanks very much for your help,
Robbi
