Hi @tazintosh

Yes, the update_field() function can add or replace the current flexible content value.

If you want to replace the value, you can use the code I gave you before.

If you want to add the value (if you have existing value), you can get the flexible content value first and add the new value like this:

// you need to get the post ID dynamically too
$post_id = 99;

// get the existing value first
$value = get_field('flexible_content_name', $post_id);

// add the value instead of replacing it
$value []= array(
	array( "before_image_field" => $before_image, "after_image_field" => $after_image, "acf_fc_layout" => "before_layout" ),
	array( "before_image_field" => $before_image, "after_image_field" => $after_image, "acf_fc_layout" => "after_layout" ),
);

Also, please keep in mind that a clone field has a different structure based on the settings. Kindly check it first and adjust the value structure before updating it. You can check it like this:

$value = get_field('flexible_content_name', 99);

echo "<pre>";
print_r($value);
echo "</pre>";

I hope this helps 🙂
