Thanks for the quick reply. I just tried it. Seems like no methods work on the instance found by the acf.getField() function, even when using the field key.
Notably, the getField method always finds the same field, no matter whether I’m using the name or key, but the methods on it always return undefined, though the prototypes are available.
Might this be a bug or am I just doing something horribly wrong?
However, I got it to work by using the acf.getField() method: acf.getFields({name: 'my_field_name'})[0].val() and acf.getFields({key: 'my_field_key'})[0].val().
