Activating support for a custom field type

If you are using custom ACF field types and wish to store their values in a custom database table, you need to register the field type as supported. You can do so using the following:

<?php
/*
 * This will register a custom field type as supported by the plugin.
 * This affects table definition generation and can go in your functions.php
 * file or a plugin.
 */
add_filter( 'acfcdt/is_supported_field', function ( $is_supported, $field ) {

  // registering a custom field type as supported
  if ( $field['type'] === 'acf_custom_field_type' ) {
    return true;
  }

  return $is_supported;
}, 10, 2 );

If you have any issues with the data from a custom field type, please let us know, so we can analyse how the custom field provides data and account for this in a future update.
