Hi @tazintosh
That’s because the select field tries to show the label instead of the value itself. To get the label, the select field will compare the value with the choices you’ve set on the field group editor page. But because it’s not there, then the select field will think that this is not the correct value (in case you changed the field type) and displays nothing.
I hope this makes sense 🙂
