Hi @matekk , contrary to what is said in https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get-values-from-an-options-page/, is it possibile with the ACF Api.

We create for example a “Page A” in this way:

$page_a = array(
                'page_title' => 'Page A',
                'menu_title' => 'Page A',
		'post_id' => 'page_a'
		);
acf_add_options_page($page_a);

And a “Option” page in this similar way:

$option = array(
		'page_title' => 'Option',
                'menu_title' => 'Option',
		'post_id' => 'option'
		);
acf_add_options_page($option);

Now you create a new Field Group with an “images” field and make this field visible when “Page Options” = “Page A” and similarly you create a new Field Group with an “images” field (it can also be a clone of the previous “images” field but watch out that the clone field name is something like “clone-images”) and make this field visible when “Page Options” = “Option”.

Now you can get the “images” field from “Page A” page with:

the field("images", "page_a")

and the “images” field from “Option” page with:

the field("images", "option")

because in Wp DB (‘wp_options’ page) the “images” field from “Page A” is saved as option_name ‘page_a_images” and the “images” field from “Option” page is saved as “option_images”.
