Select option disappears after saving

I’m using json to load my fields for a plugin I’m building. I have a select module that works fine when the page is initially loaded, but once you save the page the select turns into a text input and the title and description disappear.

To try and figure out what was going on I built the same options page in the ACF control panel, and when that is saved everything works fine. I assume it has something to do with the way the fields are being saved and recalled with the json file. Just not sure exactly what is causing it.

JSON

{
            "key": "field_540a0dfe55c9098",
            "label": "Data Model",
            "name": "inventory_data_model",
            "prefix": "",
            "type": "select",
            "instructions": "",
            "required": 0,
            "conditional_logic": 0,
            "choices": {
                "data-car": "Car",
                "data-truck": "Truck",
                "data-parts": "Parts"
            },
            "default_value": [

            ],
            "allow_null": 0,
            "multiple": 0,
            "ui": 0,
            "ajax": 0,
            "placeholder": "",
            "disabled": 0,
            "readonly": 0
        },

EDIT: Added images and code.

Hi @nickhempsey

Thanks for the bug report. Is the issue only occurring after saving the post? If you reload the page after a save, does the field display correctly again?
