Background of the issue:
Hello,
14 days ago I submitted ticket regarding ACF Pro and WPML and select fields that are not validated and saved.

This ticket, as far as I can see, is immediately closed without any answer.

I can add for the last ticket that I also found out that ACF Pro 6.3.2 and above also have the same problem with WPML 4.6.9, in the last ticket I wrote only about WPML 4.6.11

Old ticket url: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/wpml-4-6-11-and-acf-pro-conflict-wrong-validation-of-acf-select-fields/

To troubleshoot this problem, I'll install the Duplicator plugin and generate packages for further debugging purposes. I'll ensure to exclude all media files to maintain a minimal package size. You can find more information about the process here: [link](https://wpml.org/faq/provide-supporters-copy-site/). Please confirm if this approach is acceptable to you.

Yes, of course. This is basic wordpress installation without any themes, plugins and minimal content just for debugging.

You tried select field, but try also relationship field which is also select. Same problem there. When group has any select field, validation is wrong.

Ok, thank you for the feedback!

However this is only a temporary solution and I will update here as soon as there is some movement in our development ticket.

Hello,

sorry, I don't know if I should inform you or I could just close this issue because this is resolved. Obviously, ACF developers fixed it, because in new version 6.3.6 it works ok.

Thanks for your assistance

Best regards.
