Description

Wondering how much of a priority you all are putting on newer PHP versions, considering WP Core is still riddled with notices / warnings in PHP 8.1+?

I've been testing out quite a few things lately in PHP 8.0-8.2 and I found a ton of deprecated notices for ACF, mostly dealing with dynamic properties.

If there's a priority for this, I'll start pushing updates your way to get ACF compatible with PHP 8.1+ without any notices / warnings.

Research direction

The issue reports deprecated notices and warnings affecting ACF under PHP 8.1 and 8.2, especially dynamic properties. First reproduce the reported problems across those PHP versions and identify the affected ACF areas; done means ACF runs without the reported notices and warnings, but the issue does not name files or tests.
