When you are registering the fields in when you call acf_add_local_field_group() you need to get the value that was previously saved.

if( function_exists('acf_add_local_field_group') ):

$label = 'Default Label';
// code to do something like get a new field label will go here
// what you need to do depends on where you're saving the
// value that you want to use

acf_add_local_field_group(array(
	'key' => 'group_1',
	'title' => 'My Group',
	'fields' => array (
		array (
			'key' => 'field_1',
			'label' => $label,
			'name' => 'sub_title',
			'type' => 'text',
		)
	),
	'location' => array (
		array (
			array (
				'param' => 'post_type',
				'operator' => '==',
				'value' => 'test_type_1',
			),
		),
	),
));

endif;
