Using group key instead of ID in acf_form()

Hi,
I’ve created shortcode to display a frontend form – I was using the field group IDs but am now registering all field groups using php so there are no longer any field group IDs.

I am now using the keys like so:

 $options = array(
              'post_id' => 'user_'.$uid,
              'field_groups' => array(group_6215fd137de7c,group_620e518e579cd,group_624734f02fea7,group_6225efc08388e),
              'return' => add_query_arg( 'updated', 'true', get_permalink() )
           	);

But this creates a php warning “Use of undefined constant group_6215fd137de7c – assumed ‘group_6215fd137de7c’ (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP)”

How should I use group keys in field_groups array?

group keys are text values, you need to put them inside ” or “”

Aha, thanks, apologies for the schoolboy error!
