How inefficient – would it be performance degrading? It would be for a category that lists products – a finite number of say up to 30, with a periodic update every week or so. But the options page could have multiple fields that would need updates passing…
Anyway, it sounds outside the scope of what I want to focus on – I tend to get a result and then try and find another way to see if I can improve it… Currently I retrieve values in a template using the standard php snippets provided by ACF documentation. It works so I should stick with that.
