Hook to inline edit
Hi there,
I try to do the following. I have a CPT with a hidden title field when editing the title, but the title is programmatically set on save and update (uses value of a ACF field to set the title).
Everything works fine, (I use the ‘wp_insert_post_data’ filter to modify the title), except from inline editing. When I edit the relevant ACF field using inline editing, the title is not being updated.
Is there any hook I can use when using inline editing of a ACF field to update the title?
Best regards,
Sebastian
Hi Sebastian,
We have an action cac/inline-edit/after_ajax_column_save in place that is triggered after you have used inline edit as a user. You should be able to run your custom code on that.
The action cac/inline-edit/after_ajax_column_save is located in /classes/inline-edit/classes/model.php.
I will add an example to the documentation.
Best,
Tobias
I have added a full working example for the cac/inline-edit/after_ajax_column_save action to the documentation.
Hi,
Change the hook cac/inline-edit/after_ajax_column_save with ac/columns_stored since v4 but the examples on https://www.admincolumns.com/documentation/developer-docs/action-reference/cacinline-editafter_ajax_column_save/ aren’t working anymore.
Here’s the code:
function my_cac_after_title_save_update_custom_field( $column, $id, $value, $editable_model_object ) {
// only applies when the column type is a 'title' and is from the post type 'page'
if ( 'title' === $column->get_type() && 'dossiers' == $column->get_post_type() ) {
// update another custom field
update_post_meta( $id, 'client', $value );
}
}
add_action( 'ac/columns_stored', 'my_cac_after_title_save_update_custom_field', 10, 4 );Did I miss something ?
Hi Frank,
The correct action that is triggered after the value is saved is do_action( 'acp/editing/saved', $column, $id, $value );
As you can see, the last param is not available anymore so you can change your code to something like this (not tested):
/**
* @param AC_Column $column
* @param int $id
* @param mixed $value
*/
function my_cac_after_title_save_update_custom_field( $column, $id, $value ) {
// only applies when the column type is a 'title' and is from the post type 'page'
if ( 'title' === $column->get_type() && 'dossiers' == $column->get_post_type() ) {
// update another custom field
update_post_meta( $id, 'client', $value );
}
}
add_action( 'acp/editing/saved', 'my_cac_after_title_save_update_custom_field', 10, 3 );Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your message! Will try this back to the office.
Have a great day,

unfortunately the support staff seem to be in vacations and i was struggling with a lot of php errors when i tried to use the code from the faq. so this is my code with recent acp and acf addon:
// we need to connect our region function to acp inline function
function my_cac_after_title_save_update_custom_field( $column, $id, $value ) {
if ( $column->get_post_type() === "host" && $column->get_type() == "column-acf_field" ) {
if($column->get_meta_key() === "region") set_region($id);
}
}
add_action( 'acp/editing/saved', 'my_cac_after_title_save_update_custom_field', 10, 3 );first i tried to only use the if statement $column->get_meta_key() but this returned a fatal error when i also added inline editing for taxonomy field in the same view. therefore i needed to check for acf_field first!
Hi Philipp,
The fatal error happened because the AC_Column class does not have a get_meta_key() method. Only the AC_Column_Meta column has this specific method. It’s best to do either an instanceof check or checking the column type (like you did).
I added another example to our documentation with a similar use case to yours. You can use that as a reference next time.
Cheers, Tobias
p.s.: we do have a team member on vacation, but you should still get a reply within a business day
Seems the links now just drop you into the placeholder for hooks and actions. @TOBIAS – can we still hook into inline edit save?
