You could try using acf/prepare_field https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acfprepare_field/

This example is using a text field, not a select field, just to give you some idea of what you could do.

add_filter('acf/prepare_field/key=field_576ac7aa4eea4', 'preparefield');
function preparefield($field) {
  // see all the field settings before changing
  echo '<pre>'; print_r($field); echo '</pre>';
  
  // get the current row
  if (preg_match('/([0-9]+)\]$/', $field['prefix'], $matches)) {
    $row = intval($matches[1]);
    // set default value based on row
    $field['default_value'] = $row;
  }
  return $field;
}
