ACFs with Post Meta query
-
I want to use the Post Meta query functionality to query by ACF fields. How can I get the right ACF field? Is it just the field name shown in ACF, or do they have some kind of prefix/other formatting I need to account for? Is there some place I can look and see the field names? What about the value? If an admin has entered ‘orange’ into a text field, your examples make it look like I should put in the text ‘orange’ without the quotes.
Also, my particular use case is that I want to show all posts that link to a certain post in an ACF Relationship. Do I need to specify the value in some special way? The stored value is in an array.

Thank you for the very helpful answers.
Please keep in mind that the ACF fields will need to be exposed to the REST API for this to display correctly in the block editor.
What do I need to do to do this?
Unfortunately, without using a custom extension for AQL, I don’t think you’ll be able to display the posts linked in the ACF Relationship as it’s more complicated that simple post meta queries.
How hard would this be to add? Can it be a feature request?
Do you have a roadmap for your plans on this nice, and very much needed plugin? Have you ever looked at Drupal’s Views module? It’s an interesting model of a query builder for this sort of application.
