Can't get image ID for sub-categories

I have an Image field called Banner Image
The field displays in product category pages (for the taxonomy term product_cat)
The field returns the image ID

This is how I display the field:

$img = get_field('banner_image');
if ($img) {
    echo $img;
}

The field does display on front end but only in parent category pages, not in sub-categories

How do I fix that?

When getting fields from categories and other taxonomies you need to suppl the post ID. See this https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get-values-from-a-taxonomy-term/

Works like a charm, thanks so much!

Here’s the solution if it helps anyone:

$img = get_field('banner_image', 'category_' . get_queried_object()->term_id);
if ($img) {
    echo $img;
}
