Title: Problem with provided overwrite setting Last modified: October 11, 2019 --- # Problem with provided overwrite setting * Resolved [ToTTi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/formgarten/) * (@formgarten) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-provided-overwrite-setting/) * I stick to the example with author and books. In my case, the Relationship field allows me to assign several books to an author on the authors page, but a book can only be assigned to ONE author on the book page (also through out a relationship field). Example: I have assigned author 1 the book 1 – now if I assign the author 2 also the book 1, from my understanding book 1 should only be assigned to author 2 anymore. Then the previous author 1 should no more be seen as assigned on the book page. If that’s exactly what the overwrite settings should do, it will not work for me, even though I’ve stuck to all the guidelines: same key_name etc. In my example from above, according to the scenario described, on the book page both authors 1 and 2 are assigned. Was that understandable? :)) * Or didn’t I understand correctly what the overwrite settings does? The code I used (I also checked the copy paste code): * ``` add_filter('acf-post2post/overwrite-settings', 'my_overwrite_settings'); function my_overwrite_settings($settings) { $settings['orte2partner'] = array( 'overwrite' => true, 'type' => 'first' ); return $settings; } ``` - This topic was modified 6 years, 7 months ago by [ToTTi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/formgarten/).

Please, just the field(s) and not the entire group(s). * Thread Starter [ToTTi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/formgarten/) * (@formgarten) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-provided-overwrite-setting/#post-12021397) * Don’t know what you mean with PHP export of the field(s). How (and) can I do such an export? You want to see my ACF field setup of that relationship field? * Plugin Author [John Huebner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hube2/) * (@hube2) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-provided-overwrite-setting/#post-12021405) * Yes, go to ACF => Tools. Export your field definition and copy the code for the fields in question. Seeing the field definitions will give me all the information I need and much easier than trying to explain it all. You should have 2 fields in this case because one field should allow multiple selections while the other field should only allow 1 selection. * Thread Starter [ToTTi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/formgarten/) * (@formgarten) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-provided-overwrite-setting/#post-12021432) * Okay, thank you.
