Thanks for your reply, James. The part I am still confused about is if ACF is not able to find the Taxonomy because CPT-onomies is using a postID instead of a Taxonomy ID (so ACF is not able to find the taxonomy to display it), why is ACF able to highlight the correctly set taxonomy in the select menu dropdown options? I would have thought that if ACF is able to get the select taxonomy to highlighting the correct option, it should have enough data to also populate the select menu (before the options are displayed).
My original post has an image named “acf_taxonomySelect_after.png” that shows this exact scenario. The town originally selected was “Bourne”. After saving the post, the select menu is blank, but opening it to see the options shows that Bourne is properly highlighted.
Thanks again,
–Joe
