Description

I got multiple field groups which are assigned to multiple post types. Starting with SCF 6.6.0 only one field group appears in the editor sidebar. All other field groups disappeared. Tested on WordPress 6.9 and 6.4. Going back to SCF version 6.5.7 fixes the error.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with multiple field groups assigned to multiple post types using SCF 6.6.0, then compare the editor sidebar with SCF 6.5.7 on WordPress 6.9 and 6.4. Done means all assigned field groups appear in the editor sidebar rather than only one.
