Good Morning Everybody
This is my first time posting on here, and this might show:
I want to return a field object in a loop using the name of the field.
this is what my code looks like:
$field_value = get_field_object($field[‘name’]);
when I var_dump($field[‘name’]), it returns:
\my_functions.php:9:string ‘performance’ (length=11)
\my_functions.php:9:string ‘luxury’ (length=6)
\my_functions.php:9:string ‘rarity’ (length=6)
\my_functions.php:9:string ‘4_by_4_ability’ (length=14)
\my_functions.php:9:string ‘age’ (length=3)
\my_functions.php:9:string ‘average_mileage’ (length=15)
\my_functions.php:9:string ‘price_of_parts’ (length=14)
\my_functions.php:9:string ‘fuel_consumption’ (length=16)
\my_functions.php:9:string ‘insurance’ (length=9)
\my_functions.php:9:string ‘seats’ (length=5)
\my_functions.php:9:string ‘boot_space’ (length=10)
\my_functions.php:9:string ‘rear_seats’ (length=10)
\my_functions.php:9:string ‘active_safety_systems’ (length=21)
\my_functions.php:9:string ‘safety_rating’ (length=13)
These values are correct, and when I enter the actual text manually in get_field_object, it returns the correct object.
However, when enter get_field_object($field[‘name’]);, it only returns the first object i.e performance, but the rest of the objects are null.

It should also be mentioned that this code is in a separate function. I am calling the function from my home page in WordPress. The code works perfectly when it is called from a custom post type page. But it only returns 3 objects on an archive screen before returning null for the rest of the loop.
I have also tried to fetch the object using the field Key, and while it did return the object, the value attribute was not populated. And that is the part I need.
It also seems to only return null on Text Fields (After the first correctly populated object). On Select Fields, it runs correctly.
I hope I have stated things thoroughly enough.
Thanks for your help Erich
