Export of buddyform with ACF-groups

[mchobbel]

It is a hassle to migrate a Buddyform with ACF-groups to a different WP-install. The process goes like this:

1. On WP-install 1 goto Buddyforms and export the BuddyForm resulting in Downloads/BuddyFormsExport.json

2. On WP-install 1 goto ACF tools and export all ACF-groups resulting in Downloads/acf-export.json

3. On WP-install 2 goto ACF-tools and import the file acf-export.json

4. On WP-install 2 goto BuddyForms and import the file BuddyFormsExport.json

5. Now the BuddyForms is broken! It has lost the reference to the ACF-group. So you have to fix those references by editing the Buddyform and selecting the correct ACF-group in each ACF-group-field.

My idea to solve this is: the BuddyFormsExport should use the ACF-key as a reference not the Post-id.

Note 1 In BuddyForms.json the ACF-group is referenced as "acf_group": "3249". This number is the table-row-id of wp_posts but this ID does not survive ACF-export+import (steps 2+3). After step 3 the ACF-group has received a new wp_post-ID (not 3249 )

Note 2 In the attached acf-export.json you can see "key": "group_5fb6c91205891". This is the proper ACF identifier which is kept persistent after ACF-export+import. The BuddyForms export should contain that key !
