    I’m using ACF plugin to creat price field that my client will be able to edit.

    <?php the_field(‘price_car’); ?>

    I would like to know if i can directly echo the price into the Drop Down Value Field ? ( Where you can set the “Choices” Text & Value – Field Settings section )

    I have tried <?php echo get_field( “car_price” ) ?> directly in the Value Field doesn’t seems to work.

    I’m not sure if i ma clear

    Hello,

    I’m sorry, but that’s not possible, you can not include PHP code as the values of the fields in the form. A solution would be create a “hidden” field, by yourself, with the “price_car”:

    <input type="hidden" name="price_car" id="price_car" value="<?php echo esc_attr(the_field('price_car')); ?>" />

    and then you can access to this field from the equation, with a piece of code similar to:

    jQuery('#price_car').val();

    Another possibility is to use the “Developer” or “Platinum” versions of the plugin, and use the “DS” fields for reading the cars prices directly from the database.

    Best regards.
