Hey John,

You are right, it could be like infinite loops in save_post hook. Thanks!

But using the get_post_meta() is easy enough, just wanted to make sure it was either a known issue or if it was a bug that could be addressed.

Edit…
Yes, that actually works. Remove and then reset the filter inside the filter when calling get_field().

//sudo code

add_filter('acf/load_field/key=field_55b1208a40b0e', 'form_load_field_55b1208a40b0e');
function form_load_field_55b1208a40b0e ( $field )
{
  remove_filter( 'acf/load_field/key=field_55b1208a40b0e', 'form_load_field_55b1208a40b0e' );
  $repeater_min_max = get_field( 'display_all_sites', $submission_post->ID );
  add_filter('acf/load_field/key=field_55b1208a40b0e', 'form_load_field_55b1208a40b0e');

  return $field;
}
