When cloning a Page Link field, it returns only the page ID, rather than the actual page url.
For example:
<?php
$button = get_field('header_button');
if($button): ?>
<a href="<?php echo $button['link']; ?>"><?php echo $button['label']; ?></a>
<?php endif; ?>
$button['link'] returns a numerical page ID rather than a url.
ACF V5.4.8
WP V4.6.1

This is definitely happening (and still happening – ACF V5.5.3, WP V4.7).
dkeeling – a workaround is to check if the value is numeric, and then run it through get_permalink() if it is.
Your code would look like this:
<?php
$button = get_field('header_button');
if($button): ?>
<a href="<?php echo ( is_numeric($button['link']) ? get_permalink($button['link']) : $button['link'] ); ?>"><?php echo $button['label']; ?></a>
<?php endif; ?>
Thanks @jimkrill. I thought maybe it was just me because I hadn’t heard much from anyone else about this. Your solution works great.
Because I didn’t want to go back and edit my code after this issue is fixed, I had switched to just using a Post Object field rather than a Page Link, using get_permalink() with the ID, but I think your idea of using is_numeric() is a better solution.
