Description

Hello everyone :)

I'm actually working on add a custom tab for settings. However i reach an issue.

First I add my custom tab with acf/field_group/additional_group_settings_tabs :

add_filter("acf/field_group/additional_group_settings_tabs", function ($tabs) {
    $tabs["tab-key"] = "Tab key";
    return $tabs;
});

Then I add field for this custom tab with acf/field_group/render_group_settings_tab/$tab-key :

add_action('acf/field_group/render_group_settings_tab/tab-key', 'render_custom_field_settings_tab');
function render_custom_field_settings_tab($field)
{
    acf_render_field_setting(
        $field,
        [
            "label" => "Label",
            "name" => "name_field",
            "aria-label" => "",
            "type" => "text",
            "instructions" => "Instructions.",
            "required" => 1,
        ],
        true
    );
}
