ACF field update name on a option from a pull down – old option still shows

How did you change these terms? In the database, directly? If you did that, you need to rebuild the cache (the grey button a little way above the save button in the form design).

I updated these in the post – ACF field.

Not in the database but from each post.

There were some errors in your database, which I have now fixed for you.

Ok great. We will most likely need to change an ACF field again, will this be an issue each time? If so , can you tell me how to fix?

Make sure you have no ‘Draft’ or ‘Trash’ posts, and find a plugin that will remove all revisions from the the database, in other words, a database cleanup tool. Then rebuild the cache in the form.

Then, add the option in the ACF field definition, without deleting the old one, THEN do the changes, check our form in the front end to make sure the term has gone, then remove the old term from the ACF field group definition.
