Hi there, I need to use PHP to set an image field to an attachment post id (an existing image in the media library). If I use update_field(‘my_image_field’, attachment_id, post_id) then fetch that image field with get_field(), it just returns the attachment id e.g. “123” instead of an array which is what is normally returned if I set the image via the WP backend.
