get_field_object returning bool(false)

I have a checkbox field that was working fine.
I made a text edit to one of the options.
Now if I add a new post, the acf fields appears and are checked correctly on ‘page edit’ but if I publish the post nothing shows in the display.
This is only for new posts, the old posts are still displaying the field the correctly.
I try to debug using

$select_object = get_field_object('specialties'); 
var_dump($select_object); 

and it returns bool(false)
If I do the_field('specialties'); it returns the first checkbox option.

$field = get_field_object('specialties');
					$value = $field['value'];
					$choices = $field['choices'];
					$comma = "";

					if( $value ): 
						foreach( $value as $v ): 
							echo $comma;
							if ($choices[ $v ] === "Other"): 
								the_field('other_3'); 
							else:
								echo $choices[ $v ];
							endif;
							$comma = ", ";
						endforeach;
					endif;

returns nothing for new posts, but works for old posts.

How can I fix this? Is this b/c of the text change? Do I need need to clear cache somwhere?

issue fixed.
There was a spelling error in the field name.
The confusion was that the old posts were displaying the field correctly, maybe this is a caching issue?
