Cannot get data with get_field()

I have a form with two fields as follows;

field_64b3a3ad40bbf = [email protected]
field_647db09699751 = [email protected]

when I use get_field(‘field_64b3a3ad40bbf’); I get ‘[email protected]’.

I get nothing when I use get_field(‘field_647db09699751’).

How is this even debugable?

Sorry, let me start afresh as I mix the values above. The problem is the same though.

I found these values in my database;

meta_key fs_ski_resort_data_fs_email
meta_value testabc
meta_key _fs_ski_resort_data_fs_email
meta_value field_647db09699751

meta_key fs_ski_resort_data_osm_email
meta_value test123
meta_key _fs_ski_resort_data_osm_email
meta_value field_64b3a3ad40bbf

I have found that if I do (fs_ski_resort_data is a group name of id group_647d9f906d00a);

$value1 = get_field(“fs_ski_resort_data_fs_email”, 2022 );
$value2 = get_field(“fs_ski_resort_data_osm_email”, 2022 );

I correctly get the result;

$value1 = testabc
$value2 = test123

however, if I do;

$value1 = get_field(“field_647db09699751”, 2022 );
$value2 = get_field(“field_64b3a3ad40bbf”, 2022 );

the result is;

$value1 = [no value returned]
$value2 = [no value returned]

According to the documentation, it says;

$selector (string) (Required) The field name or field key.

So as far as I can see, a call like get_field(“field_647db09699751”, 2022 ); should work.

Why doesn’t this work please?
