Relationships works fine on post type but not on block?

I have a custom post type (team members), I am outputting some info from this on the blog post type using a relationship field with no problems. But I also want to use relationships to echo some team member content in a custom block on another page. But the identical code won’t work inside a block?

How do I get it to work / I assume relationship fields do work inside blocks?

Full block code below:

<?php
  $class_name = 'team';
  $id = 'team-' . $block['id'];

  if (!empty($block['anchor'])) {
    $id = $block['anchor'];
  }

  if (!empty($block['className'])) {
    $class_name .= ' ' . $block['className'];
  }

  $therapists =  get_field('bingowings');

?>

<?php var_dump($therapists); ?>

<section id="<?php echo $id; ?>" class="<?php if( get_field('divider_line') ): ?><?php echo 'dividerline'; ?><?php endif; ?> container <?php echo $class_name; ?>">
  <?php if( $therapists ): ?>
		<?php foreach($therapists as $post):?>

		<?php setup_postdata($post);?>

    <?php 
    
      $name  = get_field ('name');
      $about  = get_field ('about');
    
      $image = get_field('photo'); $imagesize = 'full';
      if( $image ) {
          echo wp_get_attachment_image( $image, $imagesize );
      }
    
      $acone = get_field('accreditation_logo_one'); $aconesize = 'full';
      if( $acone ) {
          echo wp_get_attachment_image( $acone, $aconesize );
      }
      $actwo = get_field('accreditation_logo_one'); $actwosize = 'full';
      if( $actwo ) {
          echo wp_get_attachment_image( $actwo, $actwosize );
      }
      $acthree = get_field('accreditation_logo_one'); $acthreesize = 'full';
      if( $acthree ) {
          echo wp_get_attachment_image( $acthree, $acthreesize );
      }
    
    ?>

    <div class="row">
      
      <div class="col-md">
        <img src="<?php echo $image['url']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $image['alt']; ?>" />
      </div>
    
      <div class="col-md vertical-center">
        <h2><?php echo $name; ?> <?php get_svg('/assets/svg/accredited_1.svg'); ?></h2>

        <?php
						$creds = get_field('accreditation');
						if( $creds ): ?>
					<ul>
            <?php foreach( $creds as $cred ): ?>
						  <li><?php echo $cred; ?></li>
						<?php endforeach; ?>
					</ul>
					<?php endif; ?>

        <p><?php the_field('name')?></p>

        <span><?php get_svg('/assets/svg/dotlinesm.svg'); ?></span>

        <div class="row">
      
          <div class="col-md-3">
            <p><strong>Accreditations:</strong></p>
          </div>
        
          <div class="col-md-9">
            <ul class="acr">
            <?php if( get_field('accreditation_logo_one') ) { ?>
              <li><img src="<?php echo $acone['url']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $acone['alt']; ?>" /></li>
            <?php } ?>
            <?php if( get_field('accreditation_logo_two') ) { ?>
              <li><img src="<?php echo $actwo['url']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $actwo['alt']; ?>" /></li>
            <?php } ?>
            <?php if( get_field('accreditation_logo_two') ) { ?>
              <li><img src="<?php echo $acthree['url']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $acthree['alt']; ?>" /></li>
            <?php } ?>
            </ul>
          </div>

        </div>
      
      </div>

    </div>

    <?php endforeach; ?>

    <?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

<?php endif; ?>
  
  <?php if( get_field('divider_line') ): ?><span class="divider"><?php get_svg('/assets/svg/dottedline.svg'); ?></span><?php endif; ?>

</section>

Thanks in advance!

I have got this to work by not using the <?php setup_postdata($post);?> and instead using the ‘$featured_post->ID’ method.

Still confused by the need to use two different methods for different parts of the site, as I said my code above works fine on the blog single.php template but not when used in a block – if anyone knows why I’d love to know.
