Have you ever experimented with using the post object field on the options page to show post data on a category page?

I have been trying my best to somehow show fields from the queried post object, but I cannot seem to get it.

Here is the code from my category.php file:

<?php

            // get the current taxonomy term
            $term = get_queried_object();

            $post_object = get_field('dist_feat_posts_01', $term);

            if ($post_object):

                // override $post
                $post = $post_object;
                setup_postdata($post);

                $image = get_field('square_image', $term);
                echo '<pre>';
                    var_dump($image);
                echo '</pre>';
                ?>
			    <div>
					<img src="<?php the_field('square_image'); ?>">

			    	<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
			    	<span>Post Object Custom Field: <?php the_field('square_image', $post_object->ID); ?></span>
			    </div>
			    <?php wp_reset_postdata(); // IMPORTANT - reset the $post object so the rest of the page works correctly?>
			<?php endif; ?>

dist_feat_posts_01 = return format, Post Object
square_image = return value, Image Array

Feeling pretty lost 🙂
Any help is greatly appreciated.
