hello,

I am creating a search form in my theme. In this form I want a select menu that uses the choices from the custom field I created (see attached for custom field)

I would also like to do this with checkboxes for another custom field.

<?php 
  $field = get_field_object('field_XXXXXXXX'); // field key of your field
  if (!empty($field['choices'])) {
    ?>
      <select name="your-field-name">
        <?php 
          foreach ($field['choices'] as $v => $l) {
            ?><option value="<?php echo $v; ?>><?php echo $l; ?></option?<?php 
          }
        ?>
      </select>
    <?php 
  }

I know that is an old topic but it worked for me also and I have a question.
How can we save the selected value from this select field?
I tried with the following code but it returns null update_field($field, $field['value']
