I want do display the value from the acf custom select field "my-field" in an html object.

I am using the following markup but on the generated pdf i get the word "Array" instead of the selected values from the acf select field.
[acf field="my-field" post_id="[id]"]

I don’t know if this matters but i am using an empty html object where i add content pieces with if conditions via actions.
Is there any documentation on how to include the different acf field types in e2pdf?

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

Can you please let us know:

1. What is the field type of the "my-field"?
2. Which ACF version do you use?

We would really appreciate your feedback at WordPress.org!

Can you please update the ACF to 6.3.5, due 6.3.4 has issues with outputting some values correctly via shortcodes and the issue seems connected with it.

* Fix – The ACF Shortcode now correctly outputs a comma separated list of values for arrays

We would really appreciate your feedback at WordPress.org!
