Using an underscore to get a subfield

I was wondering if querying subfields using an underscore was supported, since I haven’t found anything in the documentation.

For example, if I have a group field called group with a child subfield, I can query the subfield using get_field('group_child'); and it works correctly.

I wanted to make sure whether it’s safe to use it like that or it’s not recommended, in case it’s ever removed in an update or something.

Thanks!

Yes, this is a safe way to get this type of field.
