Description
As of recently an existing template using the format get_field('field_name', 'option') fails to load content; var_dump returns 'NULL'. The template functions as expected after changing the parameter to 'options'.
Reference:
https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get-values-from-an-options-page/
The $post_id parameter needed is a string containing the word ‘option’ or ‘options’.
Version:
ACF PRO 5.9.3

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with get_field('field_name', 'option') and compare it with the working 'options' parameter described in the linked options-page reference. Check the behavior against ACF PRO 5.9.3 and WordPress 5.5.3; done means the documented 'option' form loads the field value rather than returning NULL.
