OUTPUT OF THE PLAIN RELATIONSHIP FIELD

This relationship field is a clone, but it is not embedded in a Group field type.


Flexible content with expiration date | The filter that was given to me from ACF is applied filter to this field

This relationship field is a clone of a group acf field. There was a solution provided by the acf team and I added that code to my functions file. This issue I feel is that when a relationship field is stored in a group field, the data that is returned is in an array. I think the plugin is not looking in the array for what to return.

Also the solution provided by ACF was specific to a certain field. Our site is a large site. We have many fields that are relationship fields and are stored in groups for organization purposes. I am not sure how to make this work for all of the fields.
