Hi John, I initially used the ‘Dynamically populate a select field’s choices’ you mentioned above, I have updated the code I had, changing all instances of ‘load_field’ to ‘prepare_field’.

Unfortunately, that didn’t work.

Here is my code:

  // the following pulls in content from an options page into a select field, see here:
  // https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/dynamically-populate-a-select-fields-choices/

  function acf_prepare_product_field_choices( $field ) {
    
    // reset choices
    $sub_field['products'] = array();

    // if has rows
    if( have_rows('product', 'option') ) {
        
        // while has rows
        while( have_rows('product', 'option') ) {
            
            // instantiate row
            the_row();
            
            
            // vars
            $value = get_sub_field('application_rate');
			$label = get_sub_field('title');
			$ar = get_sub_field('application_rate');

            
            // append to choices
            $sub_field['products'][ $value ] = $label;
            
        }
        
    }
    // return the field
    return $field;
}

add_filter('acf/prepare_field/name=products', 'acf_prepare_product_field_choices');

I thought that changing ‘load_field’ to ‘prepare_field’ might do it, no such joy. I’m guessing I’ve done something wrong along the way?

Thanks
