Do you perhaps have any helper hooks that can access if a group field was edited or not?

I am trying to just run a function if a group field was edited to make it better optimised. But the $_POST no longer has data by the time I use my hook: add_action('save_post_research', 'manage_save_automations', 10, 3); And all I want to know if were changes made to the group field, or not. Hoping you have a helper function that I didn't spot!

Hello Yasmine,

the $_POST no longer has data by the time I use my hook: add_action('save_post_research', 'manage_save_automations', 10, 3);

How do you print out the $_POST variable to check if it has data? I use the sample code below and it prints out the value as well.
```
add_action( 'save_post_research', function( $post_id, $post, $update ) {
	echo "<pre>";
	print_r( $_POST );
	echo "</pre>";
	die('12345');
}, 10, 3 );
```

I do see the $_POST array when do that. But when I try compare it:

$old_values = rwmb_meta('academicreference_group', ['object_type' => 'post'], $post_ID);
$new_values = $_POST['academicreference_group'] ?? [];

Then the $_POST returns empty. And so I can't then compare the two
