Reply To: acf-json fields not loading from parent theme

I’ve been using this for a while without issue. I sometimes modify a field group imported from the parent within the child theme. It simply saves a new acf-json file into the child theme.
This used to work fine but I my posts are suddenly only rendering the group as defined in the parent. So I had to flip the load order though I have no idea why.

add_filter('acf/settings/load_json', function($paths) {
  $paths = array();

  if(is_child_theme())
  {
    $paths[] = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/acf-json';
  }
  $paths[] = get_template_directory() . '/acf-json';

  return $paths;
});
