Display Value and Label for Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Select

I am currently trying to display both the value and the label for Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) by using their documentation here: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/select/

Currently only the label will display.

In the ACF plugin tool for choices it says:

Enter each choice on a new line.

For more control, you may specify both a value and label like this:

red : Red

So I entered the following:

free : Free License

To display the value and label I entered my field name:

<?php
$field = get_field_object('license_type');
$value = $field['value'];
$label = $field['choices'][ $value ];

echo 'Value: ' . $value . '<br>' . 'Label: ' . $label;
?>

This only displays the value like so:

Value: Free Licence
Label:

Which seems wrong I believe that should actually be the label.

What I should or I want to display is:

Value: free
Label: Free License

It seems pretty straight forward but I must be doing something wrong.

What you will need to do is when you define the Select field, select the Return Format as 'Both (Array)'.

This means you can then call your field as a variable and echo the label and value:

$field = get_field('license_type');
$value = $field['value'];
$label = $field['label'];

echo 'Value: ' . $value . '<br>' . 'Label: ' . $label;

Hope this helps.
