Reply To: How to dynamically remove choices from select field?

I’ve done some more testing and it seems that it all hangs on this:

  foreach ($ads as $ad) {
    // get ad_zones values from the ad
    $advalues = get_field('ad_zones', $ad->ID);
  }

As soon as I try to get_field() inside my loop, it times out. I also tried using WP_Query instead of get_posts, with the same result. There are 2 posts that are being looped through so it definitely shouldn’t do this…

However, if I test it outside of the acf/load_field filter (getting the posts and their custom fields values and comparing them against all choices) – it works fine. It only times out when put inside the filter function.

This is why I initially put it outside of the filter function – it’s queueing the same field as the filter is loading (ad_zones is the field I’m trying to filter).
