The Current Post source loads fields from the post currently being rendered. This is the default and most commonly used field source. It works with any post type, including Posts, Pages, and custom post types. When selected, the plugin automatically detects the current post context and shows only the fields attached to that post type through ACF or SCF location rules.

For example, if a field group is assigned to a Product post type, those fields will automatically become available when editing:

• a Product post,
• a Product single template,
• or a Query Loop displaying Products.

This source is also loop-aware. When an ACF Field block is inserted inside a core Query Loop block, each block instance automatically loads fields from the current post iteration instead of the parent page.

Because most WordPress content is rendered within a post context, Current Post is available almost everywhere in both the Block Editor and Site Editor.
