Hi @Deelite
ACF offers many functions to interact with your data.
Normally, you would load the selected value like this:
$value = get_field('field_name');
If you want to actually ‘create’ a select input, then you can use a function called create_field
like so:
$field = get_field_object('pickregion');
create_field($field);
The code you posted (the_content) has nothing to do with creating a select field. May I ask where you found this code, and why you posted it above?
Thanks
