Filtering choices using load_field but not while editing field group

I want to filter choices in fields when using a field group, but not when editing field groups. I end up with site specific values being saved into field groups that I want to be able to export and use on other sites.

Thanks,

what filter are you using to filter the values?

In most cases adding this to the top of your filter will work

global $post;
if (is_a($post, 'WP_Post') && in_array(get_post_type($post), array('acf-field', 'acf-field-group'))) {
  // acf post types
  // return whatever value is being filtered
  return $original_value;
}
