Thanks for the feedback… I understand the idea, but what I’m mainly looking for is to get rid of the manual definition of field id’s since I feel it’s quite error prone. A typo is easily made. I’d like to make that generic/variable.

I was thinking in the line of something like below. The functions might be wrong, but I think the idea is clear

function get_field_ids( $field_group_id ) {
    $all_fields = get_field_object();
    $field_keys = array();
    foreach ( $all_fields as $field ) {
        $field_keys[] = $field['key'];
    }
    return $field_keys;
}

Then you can remove only the fields you don’t need from this array.
It’s easily forgotten to add a new field ID, when you add fields to the field group.

But I understand that it’s not possible (yet).
