 * Hello,
 * Thanks for the feedback!
 * Yes, you can simply set the Post ID directly in the Post Action “Target” in the
   UI.
 * If you prefer, you can also set it dynamically during the `acfe_form()` function
   invocation and then retrive it in the UI as the target in the Post Action.
 * You’ll find more explanations about this method in the [documentation here](https://www.acf-extended.com/features/modules/dynamic-forms/integration#php-custom-data).
   Usage example:
 *     ```
       acfe_form(array(
           'name'         => 'my-form',
           'post_to_edit' => 14
       ));
       ```
   
 * Then in the UI, you can use the Template Tag `{form:post_to_edit}` in the Post
   Action “Target” setting.
 * Hope it helps!
 * Have a nice day!
 * Regards.

 * Thanks.
 * Is it suppose to work with shortcode also?
 * [acfe_form ID=”3983″ my_post_id=”3847″]
 * (Then set “Save > Target” to: “{form:my_post_id}”)
