Reply To: Updating Repeater Field in Options

I feel like I’m really close to a solution, but yet so far away! The function is working when the ‘import_id’ doesn’t exist, but it goes terribly (loopy) wrong when the ‘import_id’ does exists, and only needs to update the ‘last_updated’ field. Can anyone please help me with this?

function shop_update() {
	//test ID
	$import_id = '2';

	$key = 'field_54c0cd2019a8a'; //field key for 'shops' repeater
	$date = date( 'F j, Y g:i a', current_time('timestamp') );
	$post_id = 'option';
	$exists = false;

	$shops = get_field($key, $post_id);

	if( have_rows($key, 'option') ) {

		//check if import_id exists in current Shops
		while (have_rows($key, 'option')) {
			the_row();

			if( get_sub_field('import_id') == $import_id )
			{
				$exists = true;
			}
		}

	}

	//edit or add repeater row if item does or doesn't exist
	if(  $exists  == false )
	{
		//add the import_id in total
		$shops[] = array('import_id' => $import_id, 'last_update' => $date );
		update_field( $key, $shops, $post_id );
	}
	else
	{
		if( have_rows('field_54c0cd2019a8a', 'option') ) {

			//update 'last_update' subfield
			while (have_rows('field_54c0cd2019a8a', 'option')) {
				the_row();

				if( get_sub_field('import_id') == $import_id )
				{
					$shops[] = array("import_id" => $import_id, "last_update" => $date );
				}

			}

		}

		update_field( $key, $shops, $post_id );
	}

}
