Hi @lorenz

I believe the error messages were showing up on the field group editor page, right? To fix it, could you please try the following code instead?

add_filter('acf/load_field', 'my_admin_only_prepare_field', 99);

function my_admin_only_prepare_field( $field ) {
    
    // Don't do this on the field group editor
    $screen = get_current_screen();
    if( $screen->post_type == 'acf-field-group' ) return $field;
    
	// bail early if no 'admin_only' setting
	if( empty($field['admin_only']) ) return $field;
	
	
	// return false if is not admin (removes field)
	if( !current_user_can('administrator') ) return false;
	
	
	// return
    return false;
	//return $field;
}

I hope this helps 🙂
