issue in new post submission with ACF on front end - php

Question

I am using Advanced Custom field for a custom post type to allow user to add post from front end. My update code is working fine. Inserting new post is not working fine. Its just adding a post, but no data is saved.
I have tried following code.
function my_acf_save_post( $post_id ) {
if( $post_id != 'new_post' ) {
// Get the selected post status
$value = get_field('post_status_field', $post_id);
// Update current post
$post = array(
'ID' => $post_id,
'post_status' => $value,
'post_title' => $_POST['acf']['_post_title'],
);
// Remove the action to avoid infinite loop
remove_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post', 20);
// Update the post into the database
$post_id = wp_update_post( $post );
// Add the action back
do_action('acf/save_post', $post_id, 20);
}else{
// Get the selected post status
$value = get_field('post_status_field', $post_id);
// Update current post
$post = array(
'ID' => $post_id,
'post_status' => $value,
'post_title' => $_POST['acf']['_post_title'],
);
// Remove the action to avoid infinite loop
remove_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post', 20);
// Update the post into the database
$post_id = wp_insert_post( $post );
// Add the action back
do_action('acf/save_post', $post_id, 20);
}
return $post_id;
}
// run after ACF saves the $_POST['acf'] data
add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post', 20);
I am not able to figure out, where I am getting wrong. I want when a post is submitted, all data is submitted and when updated, all data must update.

Funny thing, I solved that yesterday.
When you hooking on 'acf/save_post' you running function, while custom field has old value, you sending new values with $_POST, but with get_field() you getting old values :D
So instead
$value = get_field('post_status_field', $post_id);
You need to use, in both situations, else you need press update button twice
$value = $_POST['acf']['FIELD_KEY'];
to get FIELD_KEY do
var_dump( $_POST['acf']); die();
