*/

$post_objects = get_field('post_objects');

if( $post_objects ): ?>

        <?php setup_postdata($post); ?>

            <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
            <span>Post Object Custom Field: <?php the_field('field_name'); ?></span>

<?php endif;

/*
*  Loop through post objects (assuming this is a multi-select field) ( don't setup postdata )
*  Using this method, the $post object is never changed so all functions need a seccond parameter of the post ID in question.
