update_field always returns FALSE
-
Hello, I noticed that update_field is working only for the first time and it returns TRUE, but all next changes will return FALSE.
Not sure if that’s specific for users, here’s my code:
$values = array( 'user_gender' => 'male', );$updated = update_field('custom_fields', $values, 'user_45');$updated will return TRUE in the first attempt and FALSE in all the others, even though it DOES update the field correctly, but that’s bad if you wanna work with conditions.

@moacirsantana I don’t think it was “fixed”.
This page: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/update_field/ literally says this at the top:
Return
(bool) True on successful update, false on failure.and then this at the bottom:
No change detected
If the value passed to this function is the same as the value that is already in the database, this function returns false.I don’t know if they added the note to “respond” to your query, but at any rate, “false” can mean multiple things and one has to do their own complicated checking to determine if it’s a problem or not. Not the best solution, I’d say. Bummer.
Glad you asked the question, ’cause I was seeing the same thing and really scratching my head.
