# Multiple Taxonomy Terms fields return the same values

 * Hi,
 * I created a set of custom fields.
 * I use multiple Taxonomy Terms fields, which all use the same base taxonomy but
   are limited to some child deeper down the Taxonomy (Only allow {Term Name} children).
 * When I get the values returned in the front end, they’re all in sync and have
   the values of the other fields as well. See this for example:
 * > [terms](https://imgur.com/a/2ELF7OB)
 * If I add another term to the material field it will show up in specials and features
   as well.
 * I guess the return function doesn’t respect the limitation set by the ACF options
   and will just query/return all of the posts terms of that taxonomy?
 * Am I missing something, or do I have to check the parent term myself?
    Thanks!

 * Hello,
 * Thanks for the feedback!
 * The `get_field()` function return the value that is saved in the database, which
   means if you save “Sub Category A” & “Sub Category B”, it will only return them,
   even if you create a new “Sub Category C” afterward. [Here is a video of my test](https://i.imgur.com/Micy4fW.mp4).
 * I’m not really sure where your new term is returned tho, since the saved metadata
   should not change when a new term is created.
 * I would recommend to setup a simple test like mine, with all plugins disabled
   at the exception of ACF + ACF Extended, on the native Twenty Twenty One theme,
   just to make sure you don’t have any custom code which interfere in the logic.
 * Let me know if you found something!
 * Regards.
