True / False Field always returns False in Flexible Content block

EDIT – FIXED
Sorry, after several hours of debugging this issue, I found the issue at the exact moment I posted this. I had a spelling error in the field name…

I’m building a basic pagebuilder with ACF and Flexible Content for our site, but I’m having trouble with the True/False field, as it won’t return anything but bool(false). Every other field I’ve tried works perfectly.

Has anyone else encountered this issue before and know what to do about it?

<?php
// APPROX. STRUCTURE
if( have_rows(‘innhold’) ):
while ( have_rows(‘innhold’) ) : the_row();

if(get_row_layout() == “flexible_content”):

// ANOTHER FLEXIBLE CONTENT FIELD INSIDE
while(has_sub_field(“kolonneinnhold”)):

$text = get_sub_field(‘text’);
$image = get_sub_field(‘image’);
$textarea = get_sub_field(‘textarea’);

// TRUE / FALSE FIELD
$truefalse = get_sub_field(‘truefalse’);
var_dump($truefalse);

endwhile;

endif;

endwhile;
endif;
?>

Your problem might have something to do with mixing have_rows() and has_sub_field(), you should use have_rows() according to the docs https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/has_sub_field/

<?php
  // APPROX. STRUCTURE
  if( have_rows('innhold') ):
    while ( have_rows('innhold') ) : the_row();
    
      if(get_row_layout() == "flexible_content"):
        
        // ANOTHER FLEXIBLE CONTENT FIELD INSIDE
        if (have_rows('kolonneinnhold')):
          while(have_rows("kolonneinnhold")):
            the_row();
            $text = get_sub_field('text');
            $image = get_sub_field('image');
            $textarea = get_sub_field('textarea');
            
            // TRUE / FALSE FIELD
            $truefalse = get_sub_field('truefalse');
            var_dump($truefalse);
          
          endwhile;
        
        endif;
      
      endif;
    
    endwhile;
  endif;
?>
