Return format change cause any data issues?

I’m setting up all required custom fields and entering their data in WP admin and leaving the return format set at its default i.e. Value as I’m not working with the template file yet.

If I need to set the return format to anything else i.e Label, or Both (Array) when I come to that, will this see the potential removal of field data I already entered? So far I can tell that only changing the field name causes the data to disappear.

Thanks,

Changing the return format has no affect on the data stored in the DB. ACF always stores the same data.
