On my single post template, I hook a partial template using the following code in order to display related products above the post content :
<?php if ( have_rows( 'featured_products' ) ) : ?>
<?php while ( have_rows( 'featured_products' ) ) :
the_row(); ?>
<?php if ( $headline = get_sub_field( 'headline' ) ) : ?>
<?php echo esc_html( $headline ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php
$product = get_sub_field( 'product' );
if ( $product ) :
$post = $product;
setup_postdata( $post );
print_r($post);
?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
The headline value is returned correctly. However, when it comes to product, it returns values of the current post (and not the related post). As you can see setup_postdata is here, so I don’t really understand… In addition print_rreturns the correct values.
Any idea ?
How is your partial template loaded? Are you using get_template_part() or are you doing it another way?

The reason that it’s not working is that you’re not using get_template_part(). When you use get_template_part() WP declares the global $post variable for use in your template, along with many other global variables that are used in templates.
You either need to switch to get_template_part() or you need to declare the global variables yourself at the top of your file global $post;

It could have been one of the numerous other globals that are available when using get_template_part()
