Hi James,

Sorry for the delay, I had to work on other projects.
I’ve tried using acf/load_field, sadly without luck.
I think I also need to use acf/load_value.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

$imageSizeSelect = 'field_5831de3000470';
global $databaseValue;

function my_acf_load_value($value, $post_id, $field){
	$databaseValue = $value;
}
add_filter('acf/load_value/key=' . $imageSizeSelect, 'my_acf_load_value', 9, 3);

function my_acf_load_field($field){
	$field['choices'][$databaseValue] = $databaseValue;
	return $field;
}
add_filter('acf/load_field/key=' . $imageSizeSelect, 'my_acf_load_field', 10, 1);

I’m clearly missing something (which by chance will seems obvious to you).
First thing I’ve noticed, it that load_field is always run before load_value, which implies I’m getting an empty value.
