Value get's updated, but new keys are not added in JSON response about acf-to-rest-api HOT 6 OPEN

@danimalweb
We ended up exporting the fields to a JSON file, deleted the ACF declarations, changed the root id to another random id in the JSON file, and then imported it again. Then it "just worked". But a cumbersome workaround. So will leave this open. But the example URL's in this issue will now work correctly, so have removed them.

Just gonna note that adding fields to non-flexible content fields seems to work. Just added fields to an options page with a plain hierarchy, and that worked just fine. Will try to investigate a bit more. But a bit hard when I don't know how everything is connected among pages and meta data.

I am having a similar issue. I am not using Flexible fields.

I think I am experiencing the same issue, though mine is with a custom field group that was added to users.

Whilst the values on these fields appears to be persisted (from some business logic when a user registers), none of the values make it into the JSON response until I go in and edit them manually (or re-save the account) from within WP Admin.

I've included two screenshots, one which shows how many lines present in the JSON response before re-saving the account (175 lines) and the second one after saving (178 lines).

Strangely, in the ACF group, one of the fields does come through every time - it only seems to be a recently added fields that are not appearing. Also other ACF groups work perfectly all the time.

I would love to help track down this issue and work on a fix - as it is really affecting the operation of my site (as I need to go in and re-save every new user!)

Hi @airesvsg Any idea about this - it's causing me huge issues with using this plugin as some fields are missing on the API, even though there are values set on the user object!

Was doing some further investigation today... It seems that all ACF fields are being returned if I use the WooCommerce API
... e.g. https://DOMAIN/wp-json/wc/v3/customers/600 is correctly displaying the field within the meta_data section of the response.
