Trying to add some fields programmatically to an option page, but when saving it applies the value set on the last iterated group to all previous iterations.

Can’t figure out why this is happening, some help would be appreciated!

Code below is setup in a mu-plugin

<?php

// Add Options Page
add_action( 'plugins_loaded', function () {
  if( function_exists('acf_add_options_page') ) {      
    acf_add_options_sub_page(array(
        'page_title'    => 'Options',
        'menu_title'    => 'Options',
        'menu_slug'     => 'project-options',
        'parent_slug'   => 'edit.php?post_type=project',
    ));
  }
});

// Setup fields for Options Page
add_action( 'init', function () {
  if( function_exists('acf_add_local_field_group') ) {

    $terms = get_terms( array(
        'taxonomy' => 'department',
        'hide_empty' => false,
    ));

    foreach ($terms as $term) {
      $department_name = $term->name;
      $department_slug = $term->slug;

      acf_add_local_field_group(array(
        'key' => 'group' . $department_slug,
        'title' => $department_name,
        'fields' => array(
          array(

name for each fields needs to be unique aswell. Now it works like it should 🙂
