Take a lot of time to find answer about this and nothing found.

I created own custom post type and also make a custom acf in code too, not using the acf admin.

I create a select field.

acf_add_local_field([
    'key'       => 'mpodds-league',
    'label'     => 'League Name',
    'name'      => 'league-name',
    'type'      => 'select',
    'ui'        => 1,
    'parent'    => 'mpodds-group'
]);

Then i succesfully gather the data for this field using AJAX, append options to this field.
Save the post.
When i edit the post, it is empty. But when i see the db, it is saved. Why?

Field key must begin with “field_” https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/register-fields-via-php/
