I set up 100+ posts with ACF and am now transferring everything to Toolset. For the text fields, the transferring of management from ACF to Toolset is easy and the new field that is being controlled by Toolset has the same information/content as ACF. However, the image is not getting transferred correctly. In the toolset field it is showing as a number, which is invalid.

The last thing I want to do is manually re-input all of those images.... Any way you can help me?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

The thing is that ACF stores the image attachment ID as custom image field value and Toolset stores the custom image field value as image URL. Having said that how ACF stores custom image field value and Toolset stores the custom image field value is different.

The toolset field it is showing as a number for your imported image field from ACF because ACF stores the image as attachment ID.

Now, to display the image based on that attachment ID, you will require to write custom shortcode. Please check the following related ticket that may help you:

You can change the code for shortcode as per your requirement.
