 * Hello there,
 * I see ACF extended supports bidirectional fields. However these only work if 
   you have the same field name across all field groups. What I find strange is 
   that the bidirectional field supports multiple items, but doesn’t restrict the
   select to only one per field group. Shouldn’t it? Because it can be confusing
   knowing that fields must have a unique name within the field group.
 * **Or can taxonomies, post_objects and terms share the same field name?**
 * Regards.

 * Hello,
 * Bidirectional settings is a long-dated feature of ACF Extended. What is new is
   Self/Multi Bidirectional settings. Field names don’t need to be the same across
   all field groups.
 * It is normal to be able to link a field to multiple fields in an another field
   group, as you can now setup complex scenarios.
 * Please provide screenshots if you want to elaborate further.
 * Regards.
