Hi @bpdp

Hmm.. If you look at the function acf_add_local_field_group it calls to add_field_group and in there you’ll find:

// don't allow overrides
		if( acf_is_local_field_group($field_group['key']) ) {
			
			return;	
			
		}

I’m not sure why this is there so I’m subbing in @elliot and perhaps he can explain it better and give you some tips.
