Pre-populate Gravity Form with multiple values from ACF - php

Question

Here is a simple example of what I am trying to achieve:
I have a gravity form with different sections that will be shown conditionally by pre-populating dynamically. The thing is that I can't seem to populate them based on my ACF data (which are checkboxes as well).
If I put the values into the code it works like this:
add_filter( 'gform_pre_render_2', 'my_populate_checkbox' );
function my_populate_checkbox( $form ) {
foreach( $form['fields'] as &$field ) {
if( 11 === $field->id ) {
foreach( $field->choices as &$choice ) {
if( 'mychoice' === $choice['value'] || 'anotherchoice' === $choice['value'] ) {
$choice['isSelected'] = true;
}
}
}
}
return $form;
}
To get it to be populated dynamically I was trying something like this which didn't work (not that good with php):
add_filter( 'gform_pre_render_2', 'my_populate_checkbox' );
function my_populate_checkbox( $form ) {
foreach( $form['fields'] as &$field ) {
if( 11 === $field->id ) {
foreach( $field->choices as &$choice ) {
$addons = get_field('addons');
if( $addons === $choice['value'] ) {
$choice['isSelected'] = true;
}
}
}
}
return $form;
}
It's not working and I know I am missing something here but can't figure out what it is:/ Any help or pointers would be highly appreciated! I tried keeping it precise but if any more information is required please let me know and I will update the post accordingly.

Answer 1

Figured it out with some help:) In case anybody needs this functionality, here is how it works:
add_filter( 'gform_pre_render_2', 'my_populate_checkbox' );
function my_populate_checkbox( $form ) {
global $post;
$adfields = get_field( 'addons', get_the_ID() );
foreach( $form['fields'] as &$field ) {
if( 11 === $field->id ) {
foreach( $field->choices as &$choice ) {
if( in_array( $choice['value'] ,$adfields )) {
$choice['isSelected'] = true;
}
}
}
}
return $form;
}
