Hi John,

Thanks for your response. And you definitly pointed me in the right direction. Using a filter that runs on all fields was the solution I was looking for. I now basically removed the whole filter that had the dynamic part and moved it all to the initialize method. I only had a nesting level issue so I switched to a the ‘afc/prepare_field’ filter instead.

Just for your reference here’s my adjusted code (I only need to do a minor cleanup). And thanks again!

add_filter('acf/prepare_field', function($field) {

    $fieldObject = get_field_object($field['key']);

    if(!str_starts_with($fieldObject['name'], 'select')){
        return $field;
    }

    $layouts = acf_get_fields('group_5f33b50973315')[0]['layouts'];

    $blocks = array_filter($layouts, function($layout){
        return in_array('source', array_column($layout['sub_fields'], 'name'));
    });

    foreach ($blocks as $block) {
        if($fieldObject['name'] !== 'select' . ucfirst($block['name'])){
            continue;
        }

        $field['choices'] = [];

        $groups = get_field($block['name'], 'options');

        foreach($groups as $group){
            $field['choices'][$group['groupID']] = $group['name'];
        }
    }

    return $field;
});
