That sounds really interesting – great article, and thanks. I’m not advanced enough with PHP to be sure how you would tackle the part that cycles through the repeaters in your example for a checkbox field:

if (have_rows('colors', $post_id)) {
 while (have_rows('colors', $post_id)) {
  the_row();
  $color = get_sub_field('color');
  if (isset($saved_values[$color])) {
   continue;
  }
  add_post_meta($post_id, $meta_key, $color, false);
  $saved_values[$color] = $color;  
 }
}

Presumably we can’t do if(have_rows()) and while(have_rows()) if there are no rows?

I’m interested in doing this BEFORE the site I’m building gathers a lot of content, and learning something I can use again in future too. Would you mind showing me how you’d do this for a non-repeater?

Thanks so much.
