It has been a very long time since I’ve done this and a better source of information would be to contact support over at WPForms, they are generally very helpful.

But, I did once upon a time create do dynamic generation of field choices for a WPForms field. It involved using this hook

$filtered_field = apply_filters( "wpforms_{$field['type']}_field_display", $field, $attributes, $form_data );

You can supply a filter for each field type. Here is a list of all the filters available for WPForms.

I can tell you that you need to check the form ID $form_data['id'] and the field ID $field['id'] to make sure that you are altering the correct field.

Just like acf there is $field['choices'] and each choice is an array

array(
  'label' => 'XXXXX',
  'value' => 'YYYYY'
)

and that there may be other indexes depending on the field type.

That is a about the extent of what I can offer.

I did use a lot of this when I was building the filter and just like ACF it gave me information about the field I was working on at the time.

echo '<pre>'; print_r($field); echo '</pre>';
