I guess I’m a newbie and didn’t realize that in a while loop you can run a get_row()
to get the value of each loop.
I found that when set to Taxonomy Terms and despite setting the “Return Value” to “Term object” get_row()
only returns the term id. ( I guess I should change this back to ‘Term Id’ in case ACF fixes this bug in the future.)
So I have to also run get_term($termid)
Final result:
$terms = [];
while ( have_rows( 'resources_carousel_topic_filter_list' ) ) : the_row();
$terms[] = get_term(get_row());
endwhile;
echo "<pre>\n";
var_dump( $terms );
echo "</pre>\n";
