Advanced Custom Field works on one page, not another WordPress

I am using the following code on my taxonomy-name.php file. It's working beautifully.

However, when trying to use the same code on a page-template.php the code does not gather the data from the field.

UPDATE: I may note that these pages are displaying terms, not posts.

<div class="<?php if(get_field('term_momentum_flag', $term)) {
echo get_field('term_momentum_flag', $term);} else { ?>momentumflag0<?php } ?>">

<?php if(get_field('term_momentum_flag', $term)) {
/*
* Displaying a single value's Label
*/
$field = get_field_object('term_momentum_flag', $term);
$value = get_field('term_momentum_flag', $term);
$label = $field['choices'][ $value ];
echo '<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-flag"></span>';

}
else { ?><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-flag"></span><?php } ?>
</div>

This is the page there I'm calling the code.

<?php
/*
Template Name: 100 List Page
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="row heading-grid">
<div class="container">

Arnav Joy answers:

I think in place of this
get_field('term_momentum_flag', $term)

You have to use this
get_field('term_momentum_flag')

So you just have to use field name

I wish that did it, but It did not :(

Hi there,
I think you should check this first thing.
1. Cross checks if the page field value is empty.
if it is not empty, then try this one.
2. get_the_id : get_field('term_momentum_flag', get_the_id ()). Make sure it should get the id of the page or taxonomy.
Thanks

streetfire comments:

Hi there, to my knowledge the field value is not being gathered by the code. So #1 is empty I believe. It's displaying the default data.

Sabby Sam comments:

Hi Street Fire,
May be you are right. I saw this documentary and that's what I have written.
http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get_field/.
I am not sure but check this
$field_name: the name of the field to be retrieved. eg “page_content” (required)
$post_id: Specific post ID where your value was entered. Defaults to current post ID (not required). This can also be options / taxonomies / users / etc
$format_value: whether or not to format the value loaded from the db. Defaults to true (not required).

streetfire comments:

Hm, I tried this, but no luck. I find it off the same code works on one page, but not another. baffling.

<div class="<?php if(get_field('term_momentum_flag', '100gridgroups')) {
echo the_field('term_momentum_flag','100gridgroups_'.$term);} else { ?>momentumflag0<?php } ?>">

<?php if(get_field('term_momentum_flag','100gridgroups')) {
/*
* Displaying a single value's Label
*/
$field = get_field_object('term_momentum_flag','100gridgroups');
$value = get_field('term_momentum_flag','100gridgroups');
$label = $field['choices'][ $value ];
echo '<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-flag"></span>';

}
else { ?><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-flag"></span><?php } ?>
</div>

streetfire comments:

Copied above code wrong, this is what I tried and no luck

<div class="<?php if(get_field('term_momentum_flag', '100gridgroups')) {
echo the_field('term_momentum_flag','100gridgroups');} else { ?>momentumflag0<?php } ?>">

<?php if(get_field('term_momentum_flag','100gridgroups')) {
/*
* Displaying a single value's Label
*/
$field = get_field_object('term_momentum_flag','100gridgroups');
$value = get_field('term_momentum_flag','100gridgroups');
$label = $field['choices'][ $value ];
echo '<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-flag"></span>';

}
else { ?><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-flag"></span><?php } ?>
</div>

uhhg, Finally got it! Now my head hurts.

<div class="<?php if(get_field('term_momentum_flag', '100gridgroups_' . $lc->term_id)) {
echo get_field('term_momentum_flag','100gridgroups_' .$lc->term_id);} else { ?>momentumflag0<?php } ?>">

<?php if(get_field('term_momentum_flag','100gridgroups_' . $lc->term_id)) {
/*
* Displaying a single value's Label
*/
$field = get_field_object('term_momentum_flag','100gridgroups_' . $lc->term_id);
$value = get_field('term_momentum_flag','100gridgroups_' . $lc->term_id);
$label = $field['choices'][ $value ];
echo '<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-flag"></span>';

}
else { ?><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-flag"></span><?php } ?>
</div>
