get_field() with Group field not working anymore

Hi folks,

I’ve developed a Plugin long time ago. Now my client ask me to fix a bug. After some research I found the problem:
The get_field() function is not working anymore with a Group field.

global $post;
$attributes = get_field('attributes', $post->ID);
$price = get_field('price', $post->ID);
$attributes_price = get_field('attributes_price', $post->ID);
var_dump($attributes); 
// bool(false) 
var_dump($price);
// NULL
var_dump($attributes_price);
// string(6) "103,00"

I’ve also checked this behavior on another test site, but there get_field() on Group field returns an array of sub fields as it should.

Any hint what is causing this issue?

Thank you!

Did you get to the bottom of this? I had a very similar problem on a website recently only it wasn’t limited to group fields. get_field was not working at all, even when explicitly passing in the post id, and I ended up falling back to using get_post_meta.
