How can I get the first checkbox label and echo it? Was hoping I could do something like this, but, it doesn’t work:

<?php
   team = get_field_object('team');
?>
	
<a href="/our-team">< Back</a>
<a class="teamsBtn"><?php the_field('team')[1];  ?></a>

get_field_object() returns the same field array that you’ll see if you export a field group to code.

$team = get_field_object('team');
$choices = $field['choices'];

the_field() echos the value of the field. Use get_field() if you want to do something with the value

$value = get_field('team');

echo the label associated with the first selected value.

echo $choices[$value[0]];
