I’m struggling as well to retrieve this kind of data. Did you manage to find a solution?

Hi guys,

This is something you can accomplish using get_field_object(...) function. get_field_object(...) will return a field object. You can get the choices using the following code:

$field = get_field_object('select_field', 1);

$choices = $field['choices'];

foreach($choices as $choice):

	echo $choice;

endforeach;

For more information on this, have a look at: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get_field_object/

Couldn’t get that code to work but the Get a field object and create a select form element code at the end of the get_field_object/ link was a success.
Thanks.

What does:
'select_field' mean? Is that where I put something in like “company”?
