Can you post the code to a gist or Pastebin so I can see what you are doing? You can set it to be private so only EE staff can view the reply if preferred.

$registrant->answers();

Your filtering all of the answers to find the specific answer to a specific question, which you already know the ID of, correct?

But if you already know the Question ID, why not just do it directly for that specific question?

The main problem is that the questions, that are set as “admin questions” in WordPress, don’t show up in the following query.

Ok, so that’s not actually correct.

Admin-only questions will not have answers generated for them on front-end registrations, because they are admin only questions and will only generate an answer when an admin has edited the registration.

So the reason the above query does not return an EE_Answer object, is there is no answer to generate yet.

Both $registrant->answers();

And EEM_Answer::instance()->get_one( array( array( 'REG_ID' => $reg_id , 'QST_ID' => $qst_id_rechnungsbetrag ) ) );

Will return an EE_Answer object for admin-only questions if there is something actually saved for those answers, on a front-end registration there will not have been anything saved.

You can confirm this yourself by editing one of those registrations and in the ‘Registration Form Answers’ section, edit the group with the admin-only question, don’t set a value and just hit ‘Update Registration Questions’, like this: https://monosnap.com/file/JVudJVeFB1JFYtp1ofXxN5EBKx22Eh

Now run either/both of the methods from above and you’ll have an extra EE_Answer object.

As you already know the QST_ID and the REG_ID, why not just generate the answer directly?

$new_answer = EE_Answer::new_instance(
    array(
        'QST_ID'    => $qst_id_rechnungsbetrag,
        'REG_ID'    => $reg_id,
        'ANS_value' => $new_value,
    )
);
$new_answer->save();

Obviously, do all of your own checks to confirm the question is actually an admin_only question and does not already have its own value (so you don’t overwrite a value set in the admin already) etc
