Description
We have ACF Pro installed and have field groups that are applied to specific pages. These pages are default wordpress pages not custom types. However, we are finding that ACF is loading all scripts/styles in custom post types that aren't targeted by any field groups.
What we have happening is we have some custom post types with their own custom meta boxes and we are using jquery ui sortable to allow drag/drop within these meta boxes but ACF Styles/Scripts are loading in on the custom post types and breaking our drag/drop functionality.
How can we block ACF from enqueueing any scripts/styles to a post type it doesn't target with any field groups?

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with ACF Pro field groups targeting default pages, separate custom post types with their own meta boxes, and jQuery UI sortable behavior. Start by tracing when ACF enqueues scripts and styles for each post type; done means non-targeted post types no longer receive those assets and sortable functionality remains intact.
