  Take a lot of time to find answer about this and nothing found.

  I created own custom post type and also make a custom acf in code too, not using the acf admin.

  I create a select field.

  
  acf_add_local_field([
      'key'       => 'mpodds-league',
      'label'     => 'League Name',
      'name'      => 'league-name',
      'type'      => 'select',
      'ui'        => 1,
      'parent'    => 'mpodds-group'
  ]);

  Then i succesfully gather the data for this field using AJAX, append options to this field.
  Save the post.
  When i edit the post, it is empty. But when i see the db, it is saved. Why?

  Field key must begin with “field_” https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/register-fields-via-php/
