  Hi,

  I’m using the RC-1 of ACF Pro and I’m loving the new Group field. It cleans up my CMS screens so much.

  However, I want to update a field programmatically. I’ve trying add_row(), add_sub_row(), update_field() etc but can’t get it to work!

  I think the issue is I have is that it’s a nested group. So, I have week_opening_times which is a group, which within it there are 7 groups for each day. Then each day has 4 fields in. The tree looks like this

  week_opening_times – group
  – monday – group
  – – opening_time – time
  – – closing_time – time
  – tuesday – group
  – – opening_time – time
  – – closing_time – time
  …etc…

  Does anyone know how to update week_opening_times > monday > opening_time with a PHP function?

  I also need to be able to delete fields. Any ideas for that?

  @mrsteveheyes did you ever solve this? I’m sitting where you were back in July right now. 🙂
