Advanced Custom Field not showing up as option in Search builder

Hello. Very new to Search & Filter Pro. I have the following. A custom post type with a custom field built using Advanced Custom Fields. When I go into the Search builder and select which fields I want to filter on for the search, the custom field does not show up as an option. Its my understanding, based on the documentation, that this should work. Thoughts as to why its not showing up?

You mean in the meta key list in the field settings of the Form UI? Here?

When selecting the meta key, note a ‘gotcha’ with ACF ….

… it makes 3 meta keys per field, like this (in this example for a field named ‘land’):

#1 _land
#2 field_52f0fc4334f52
#3 land

In our Meta Key selection list, you need to use key #3, without the underscore at the start of the key name. If you choose #1 by mistake, in the field choices you will see the name of #2.

The key name for you field will ONLY appear after you have stored data terms to a post using that custom field.
