CMb2_init action hook doesn't seem to work when using helper functions

    Hello,
    I’ve been trying to use the cmb2_init action hook for the cmb2_get_field_value() helper function based on the documentation. However this did not work as I kept getting an empty string. The documentation has this:

    function cmb2_init_check_field_value() {
    $radio_value = cmb2_get_field_value( 'test_metabox', '_cmb2_test_radio', get_queried_object_id() );

    // Perform additional logic based on $radio_value
}
add_action( 'cmb2_init', 'cmb2_init_check_field_value' );

    After trying several times I ended up accidentally making a typo that actually worked:

    add_action('cmb2_ini','my_function' );

    Also using add_action('cmb_ini', 'my_function') also works.

    Since it is working, Is it okay to continue using those hooks or will it break at some point in the future?

    Not sure what’s going on with “cmb2_ini” working but not “cmb2_init” because we don’t have any “cmb2_ini” hook in the plugin.

    This is strange, As it turns out its not that “cmb2_ini” is working, Its seems to work as long as I’m using anything other than “cmb2_init”. Even an empty string works. I have also added to the same file as the example-functions.php file and I have used in another file but same results. Using “cmb2_init” outputs and empty string. But its working now using an empty string so I’m happy ??

    Extremely odd. However, apparently it’s working for you now, which I’ll settle with.
