Filter Taxonomy Field by Custom Field

I have a taxonomy field for Categories and have added a custom field to the category called “Premium”. I would like my category ACF field to just show the Premium categories. I’m not sure how to approach that. I don’t see a way to filter the category in the taxonomy field.

Thanks in advance.

Totally figured it out. I had the field displaying as checkboxes. It would be nice to have the checkbox be an option. The multi-select is a bit of a clunky option.

My solution in case someone wants an example:

// FILTER FOR PREMIUM CONTENT FOR COMPANIES

add_filter('acf/fields/taxonomy/query', 'moxie_acf_company_premium', 10, 3);
function moxie_acf_company_premium( $args, $field, $post_id ) {
	
	$args['taxonomy'] = 'category';
	
    $args['meta-query'] = array(
		array (
			'key'		=> 'premium',
			'value'		=> 'yes',
		)
	);

    return $args;
}
