Hi @elliot – thanks very much for your response.

I have altered the function so that I can pass it the field key – is there really know way to find this?

I have one final problem, if you don’t mind? My code is below, it is not correctly inserting the data when no rows exist already (the second update_field call).

Thanks,

Adam

function acf_add_repeater_row($field_name, $post_id, $values, $field_key = '') {
	$field_obj = get_field_object($field_name, $post_id );
	// var_dump($field_obj['value']);
	if( $field_key == ''){
		$field_key = $field_obj['key'];
	}

	// check whether the meta fields exist in the DB
	if( $field_obj['value'] ) {
		// they do, let's add a row
		array_push( $field_obj['value'], $values );
		update_field( $field_key, $field_obj['value'], $post_id );
	}
	else if ($field_key) {
		// they don't, let's create them
		update_field( $field_key, $values, $post_id );
	} 
}
