    Hi there,

    I have a Custom Post type in ACF, called ‘Artist’

    When I import images, I am trying to map the image EXIF:Artist value, to specific Posts that have been created with the same value.

    i.e.

    ACF Post Type ‘Artist’ = Post Name: “Artist-A”

    EXIF:Artist: “Artist-A”

    I have tried to create a custom mapping rule for this but it doesn’t seem to be mapping correctly.

    I have tried both ‘artist’ and ‘custom:artist’ as the value name.

    I have validated that the value on the image for ‘EXIF: Artist’ matches the same string title for the Custom ‘Artist’ Post Types I’ve created.

    The ACF Post Types are then mapped on the image attributes like this:

    Is it possible to map EXIF data -> ACF data in this way, or am I doing something crazy beyond OOTB features? Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your question and for describing your application and illustrating it with the screen shots; very helpful.

    I am not quite sure what you mean by “I am trying to map the image EXIF:Artist value, to specific Posts that have been created with the same value.” The MLA mapping rules allow you to extract metadata from an image file and use it to populate standard and custom fields in the Media Library item associated with the image. There are no MLA mapping features that interact with fields in posts, pages or custom post types.

    I regret the news is not better, but I am marking this topic resolved because I have answered the question with respect to MLA’s abilities. Please post an update if you have any further questions regarding the above explanation. Thanks for your interest in the plugin.
