Can you explain more about this? I don't know what ACF does or what you want it to do here.

Advanced Custom Fields shows custom FORM fields ( textarea, tinymce wysiwyg, radio, checkbox, file input, gallery with images, etc..) in backend of WordPress. More in video => https://youtu.be/eMCOE9x5mCc?t=260. In video there is select "Field type". There can be new field "Block editor" with your plugin.

You can download free plugin => https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/ There is file advanced-custom-fields/includes/fields/class-acf-field-textarea.php

Create new field via separate plugin is very simple: https://github.com/DocWatson/acf-timezone-picker https://github.com/Hube2/acf-medium-editor

What do you think?

Problem is, that you can create multiple same fields types on same page. I dont know, if your solution is ready for this. Thank you.

Hello, It would be really great to add ACF support, it's a tool enormously used by developers to simplify the work with custom post type of wordpres, I support the addition I will create a branch to try to add it. Your project is great! Sincerely

I kind of think this is something best suited for ACF itself. I don't generally think this plugin should start supporting other plugins as it makes for a lot of maintenance.

Hi, we have support for block editor via this plugin https://www.acf-extended.com/changelog

Thank you.

Here's another vote to have this plugin provide a dedicated ACF field. Supporting other popular plugins is already within the scope of this plugin, as bbPress and BuddyPress are already supported, and ACF field provides even wider use-cases and, based on the limited nature of the solution, a lower maintenance burden.

On the last point, ACF has done well with not breaking backward compatibility, and I've found that plugins that provide custom fields continue to work with the latest version of ACF even if the custom field plugin wasn't updated in years. As such, ACF development is quite stable and not a moving target.
