Hello
this might be related – I’m trying to populate the default value of a dynamically populated select field – I cannot get it to display the default value – hope somebody can help.

// Populate the category select field with dynamic values
add_filter( 'acf/load_field/name=resource_category', 'prefix_acf_load_resource_category_field' );
function prefix_acf_load_resource_category_field( $field ) {
		
	// reset choices and defaults
	$field[ 'choices' ] 		= array();
	$field[ 'default_value' ]	= array();
	
	$terms = get_terms( 'resource_category', array( 'hide_empty' => false ) );
	
	foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
		
		$field[ 'choices' ][ $term->slug ] = $term->name;
		
		if ( has_term( $term->slug, 'resource_category', get_the_ID() ) )
			$field[ 'default_value' ][] = $term->slug;
	
	}
	
	return $field;

};
