Good day, i have a custom post type which I would want to show on a default category taxonomy page, so I add it to the query like so

function add_custom_post_type_to_query( $query ) {
	if ( is_admin() || !$query->is_main_query() )
        return $query;

	if ( is_category() || is_tag() )  {
            $query->set( 'post_type', array('custom_post_type') );
	}
	
	return $query;
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'add_custom_post_type_to_query' );

and after that all of my “the_field()” on said category page doesn’t show up their values. How can i add a CPT to a query and make ACF keep working?

ok, so i have managed to retrieve values with this code
<?php echo get_field('field', get_queried_object()); ?>
is this the only right way to do it in my situation?
