Thank you for your prompt response.

This is a screenshot of the ACF select field settings (note that it includes Japanese text). The choices for this select field are automatically updated when a separate textarea is modified.

As mentioned in my initial post, I am following the instructions provided here: ACF Guide on Dynamically Populating Select Fields.

Regarding the code used for display, it is executed via the WordPress REST API. Below is a simplified version of the code. Please note that it may look odd due to simplification, but essentially, it’s just using get_field to retrieve data. Since the select field works correctly with choices that were initially present and after performing an export/import, I believe there is no bug in this code.

<?php
add_action('rest_api_init', function () {
    register_rest_route(
        'v1',
        'matches/(?P<slug>[a-z0-9_\-]+)',
        array('callback' => 'matchesResponse')
    );
});

function matchesResponse($request)
{
    $post_args = [
        'name'              => $param_slug,
        'post_type'         => 'matches',
        'post_status'       => $request['post_status'],
        'posts_per_page'    => -1
    ];

    $post_query = new WP_Query($post_args);

    if ($post_query->have_posts()) :

        while ($post_query->have_posts()) :

            $post_query->the_post();

            global $post;

            $data[] = get_field('opponent', $post->ID);

        endwhile;

        wp_reset_postdata();
    endif;

    print_r($data);

    return new WP_REST_Response($data);
}
