Hey James,

That helped fixed many of the problems.
The only issue I am having is with it updating on the AJAX calls.
When I select a new category and then save and reload the page, the correct fields show up, but only on page reload.

I used Chrome’s inspector to monitor the network calls. Every time a new category is selected (it is a drop-down) then there are two POST calls to admin-ajax.php. Both calls return a 200 status, but the page does not update to show the correct fields, until I save and reload.

Are there other steps needed to make the AJAX calls update the edit page?

This is the current state of the code now:

function acf_location_rules_types_product_category($choices) {
    // create a new group for the rules called Terms
    // if it does not already exist
    if (!isset($choices['Products'])) {
        $choices['Products'] = array();
    }
    // create new rule type in the new group
    $choices['Products']['fr_product_categories'] = 'Category Name';
    return $choices;
}

function acf_location_rules_values_product_category($choices) {
    // get terms and build choices
    $all_categories = get_terms('fr_product_categories', array('hide_empty' => false, 'childless' => true, 'orderby' => 'name'));
    if(count($all_categories)){
        foreach($all_categories as $category){
            $choices[$category->term_id] = $category->name;
        }
    }
    return $choices;
}

function acf_location_rules_match_product_category($match, $rule, $options){
	// validate
   if(!$options['post_id']){return false;}
	$category = intval(get_post_meta($options['post_id'], 'product_category', true));
	
	if($rule['operator'] == "=="){
		$match = $rule['value'] == $category;
	}
	elseif($rule['operator'] == "!="){
		$match = $rule['value'] != $category;
	}
	return $match;
}
