get_field() not working for blocks in widget area

  • We have built a number of custom blocks with ACF, and they are working exactly as expected when added to post content. However when we add them to a widget area, get_field() always returns null on the front-end – though in the widget editor everything looks fine.

    For example we have a “Recent Posts” block which (amongst other things) allows the user to select which post type(s) they want to query:

    $post_type = get_field('post_type');

    I’ve gone over the documentation multiple times and can’t see that we should need to do anything special here?

    Has anyone else run into the same problem?
