Description

Describe the bug
User field type stopped surfacing populated values to GraphQL

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Add a User Field Type to a Field Group that appears on Posts
  2. In a post, add a user to the field and save
  3. Refresh and see that the user is visibly saved to the field
  4. Go to GraphQL IDE and query for the field group + user field on the post
  5. See that the query returns null or empty [] array

Expected behavior
The saved user value should show in the GraphQL query and not just the post editing interface

Additional context
This was working about a week ago? Sometime, roughly in the past 2 weeks, it stopped on all authors but one. One user comes through to the query—the rest don't. All plugins above were updated to latest today.

Research direction

Start with the attached acf-export-2024-06-11.json and reproduce the User Field Type on a post, then query the field group and user field in the GraphQL IDE. Compare the saved value in the post editing interface with the returned null or empty array; done means all saved users are returned by the GraphQL query.
