Show custom field from another CPT

I wanted to make a query: I have an entry in "assessment" CPT with custom fields made with ACF, one of which is name "customer" which has the customer ID. I want to know how to show in front-end a field of another CPT called "customers". The custom field I also did with ACF and is name "profile_photo". The author of this CPT is the same as the ACF custom field "customer" in "assessment" CPT.

I think it would be something like that ... I don't know if I'm on the right track.

function the_field_by_author( $field, $author ) {
  $user_info = get_field( "customer" ); 
  $args = [
    'post_author'    => $user_info->ID,
    'post_type'      => 'clientes', 
    'post_status'    => 'publish',
    'posts_per_page' => 1
  ];
  $my_post = get_posts( $args );
  if( $my_post ) {
    return get_field( "photo_profile", $my_post->ID );
  }
   }

add_shortcode('shortcode_the_field_by_author', 'the_field_by_author');

I'm new and I don't know how to display the custom field in each "assessment" entry. Thank you very much in advance.

The method is actually the same as what you would do with default post types such as posts. You can use the get_field or the the_field functions.

https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get_field/ https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/the_field/

Just make sure to use the appropriate custom post ID in the function parameter.

$value = get_field( "text_field", 123 );

Make sure that 123 is the ID of a post from the custom post type.
