Change select values in a repeater

I have a “select” item in a repeater that loads a Cities Taxonomy.
I wish to filter some of those value to only use the children of an specific parent.

I’ve followed the instructions of this tutorial but it was in vain. http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/dynamically-populate-a-select-fields-choices/

I tried also with a query an populate the $field[‘ciudad’] with the value and the label but with some errors too.

Here is the code I wrote:

function my_acf_load_value( $value, $post_id, $field )
	{
		$field['ciudad'] = array();

		global $wpdb;
		$ciudades = '';
		$sql = "	select 	T.name, T.term_id
					from 	wp_terms T
							INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy TT ON T.term_id = TT.term_id
					WHERE	TT.parent = 275";

		$ciudades = $wpdb->get_results($sql);

		foreach( $ciudades as $ciudad) {
			array_push($field['ciudad'],array($ciudad->term_id => $ciudad->name));
		}

		return $field;
	}
	add_filter('acf/load_field/key=field_550028dcedab2', 'my_acf_load_value');

Is there any other way to do it?
Thanks in advance…

I could be wrong, but I don’t believe that the field keys of the ACF field array are translated, only their labels. So in the code where you have

$field['ciudad'] = ...

it should be

$field['choices'] = ...;

Edit:

This can be verified by adding the following in your function:

print_r($field);
