Just so that you know, this isn’t my plugin, I just answer questions here. I know a lot about ACF, but I’m not really involved in it’s development. If you want to submit a bug directly to the developer please use this link https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/new-ticket/

I’m still a little lost from your explanation.

First off are we talking about a select field or are we talking about a custom field type created using http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/tutorials/creating-a-new-field-type/

Assuming you are talking about a custom field type, are you able to share the code.

I have build custom field types for ACF, including a select field, and I have not had the problem that you indicate. The getting of the current value is handled in the render_field() method of the class and not the render_field_settings() method. You can see this on line 202 of this file https://github.com/Hube2/acf-select-w-add-other/blob/master/fields/acf-select_with_other-v5.php. This file was created using the ACF 5 select field as an example.
