Custom field setting of Relationship type not showing any values

I am trying to register a custom field setting of the ‘Relationship’ type in order to create more granular conditional logic for displaying/hiding fields. Specifically, I would like to select one or more pages on which to hide the field(s) in question. Here is the code I am registering the field with:

    acf_render_field_setting( $field, array(
		'label'			=> __('Hide on Pages', 'jdmn'),
		'instructions'	=> __('Hide this field on the following pages.', 'jdmn'),
		'name'			=> 'hide_on_pages',
		'type'          => 'relationship',
        'post_type'     => array(
            0 => 'page',
        ),
        'taxonomy'      => '',
        'filters'       => '',
	), true);

While the new settings field shows up properly after registering it, it does not display any values/pages. Could anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong and/or point me towards a solution? In the meanwhile, I will try to dynamically populate the fields choices array and see if that works.

Thanks very much in advance.

In the meanwhile, I will try to dynamically populate the fields choices array and see if that works.

While this didn’t solve my original problem of the choices/pages not showing up in a ‘Relationship’ type field, the alternative approach described above worked just fine for what I was trying to achieve:

    acf_render_field_setting( $field, array(
		'label'			=> __('Hide on Pages', 'jdmn'),
		'instructions'	=> __('Hide this field on the following pages.', 'jdmn'),
		'name'			=> 'hide_on_pages',
		'type'          => 'select',
        'choices'       => (function(){
            $array = array();
            $pages = get_pages();
            foreach( $pages as $page ) {
                $array[$page->ID] = $page->post_title;
            }
            return $array;
        })(),
        'default_value' => null,
        'allow_null'    => 1,
        'multiple'      => 1,
        'ui'            => 1,
	), true);
