This is known as [[https://​inspirehep.net/​record/​1337434/​files/​26-Kuriksha.pdf|axion electrodynamics]] and was first noted in  F. Wilczek, Phys. Rev. Lett. 58, 1799 (1987). The main idea here is that if the theta parameter can change in space and time $\theta=\theta(x,​t)$,​ the term $\theta F \tilde F$ directly influences the equations of motion. This is discussed explicitly in Section 1.2 "The Theta Term" in [[http://​www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/​user/​tong/​gaugetheory/​gt.pdf|Tong'​s lectures on gauge theory]].
