ACF - Populate a taxonomy field according to a field inside that taxonomy WordPress

SOLVED

Hear me out here as this gets complicated…

This applies to ACF Pro...
https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/populate-a-taxonomy-field-according-to-a-field-inside-that-taxonomy/
-----------------------------------------------------------
I have a custom taxonomy called student. When I edit a student I have a field (which is another custom taxonomy) called school.

I also have user profiles with the same school field in the edit screen.

Now… what I want to do is in my field group, have the student field but only populate it with student terms that have the same school term as the current post author.

e.g.
student term “Sally” has the school term “XYZ primary school”
student term “Billy” has the school term “ABC high school”

Therefore, the student term “Sally” would only populate the student field (in a post) when the current author also has the school term “XYZ primary school” in their user profile.

Does this make sense?

Hi,
This seems possible but without actually seeing this working on your site it will be hard to provide you solution for this.
Can you please provide me access to your site ( ftp and admin ) and I will implement the solution there.

The question is not that much clear, unfortunately. It's important to understand the requirements in a proper way before we can help you in the right way.

Can you please simplify it a little bit and explain again? Would be great if you share some related screenshot.
