Select2 error with no results for User field.

For a User field type the ajax method ajax_query() in fields/user.php returns nothing via die() if the $choices array is empty, which breaks the Select2 response handler – it hangs rather than saying “no results”.

Commenting out the die() on line 244 will fix this behavior, or possibly passing an empty array through a filter would be a better long term solution.

// validate
if( !$choices ) {
			
    $choices = apply_filter( 'acf/fields/user/ajax/empty', array() );
			
}
