Custom ACF Field on Product Categories not appearing on front-end

So, I have created a custom ACF fieldset that is displayed on the specified product categories using code from the following post: https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/how-to-add-custom-field-to-a-category/

That code works fine, and a new field location is displayed when creating a new field (see image) and that field is then displayed on the corresponding category perfectly fine.

My issue, is when I go to display the field on the frontend by putting code into archive-product.php, nothing appears.

<section class="category-banner">
  <h1 class="lorem"><?php the_field('text_test'); ?></h1>
</section>

Thanks in advance for any suggestions on this

I’m having the same issue, did this get resolved?

You have to supply the correct post ID when calling acf function to get values from terms. See this document https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/adding-fields-taxonomy-term/
