@AlexStandiford @sirenaffiliates Yep! #wordpress-abilities-api-integration" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">advancedcustomfields.com/blog/acf-6-8-r…

Is anyone actually leveraging and consuming the WordPress Abilities API? If so, how? I want to understand the benefits for consumers before I go implementing something for it into @sirenaffiliates (Please boost for reach)

Thanks, I've passed on your suggestion to the team but in the mean time this can be accomplished with a filter on your site: add_filter( 'acf/rest/get_field_schema', function( $schema, $field ) { if ( ! empty( $field['instructions'] ) ) { $schema['description'] = $field['instructions']; } return $schema; }, 10, 2 );

@polevaultweb @wp_acf Yes exactly. I feel this is closest to a description i think

@polevaultweb can we make @wp_acf return the field "description" in the rest api schema as description? WordPress core meta fields to that as well. Would simplify schema generation a lot.

@seofreelance Thanks for testing it out and good call, we'll look at adding support for it in a future version. ^IP

I've been testing the new ACF plugin featuring structured data for custom fields/CPTs and it has a lot of potential. But as far as I know (did RTFM), @wp_acf there is no Graph keyword to allow sharing context if page has multiple SD scripts, nice to have :)

@JiveDig @lgladdy @MadtownLems Phil is indeed on the ACF team at @wpengine - and he rocks! 🙌

@lgladdy @MadtownLems @wp_acf Okay this was solved. Phil (from WPE?) helped me figure it out in Post Status Slack. Turns out that instance of my block was not returning any HTML (by design). That is the new and expected UI for blocks not showing any HTML in ACF, which is fine by me now that I understand.

@wp_acf @lgladdy I'm testing v3 blocks and have old block instances in content that were saved in 'edit' instead of 'preview' mode and now I"m stuck here. How do I get out of this?
