 * I have been unable to get this to work for months now.
 * Within the form, I want to use the default value of another field to create the
   post title. I used to be able to the “the field” however, this has been deprecated
   by ACF. What do I need to enter here now to get this to work. I have tried [acf:
   field_name] and this just creates the post title called “no_name”.

 * I am also interested to this. How to set an ACF field with a default value from
   another field in the post?
