Hi Alex,

It would be hard to do this without saving the options page between putting in the events and then putting in contacts.

However. You could do a check on loading of the “events” field inside contacts wether there exists some values in the Events repeater and add them as choices as a select field (for example).

Here’s a snippet you can use as a base that should get you rolling:

function my_acf_load_field( $field ){
	
	$events = get_field('events', 'options'); //the repeater for events
	
	if( $events ){
		foreach( $events as $event ){
			$field['choices'][$event['eventname']] = $event['eventname'] . ' (' . $event['eventdate'] . ')';
			
		}
	}
	
    return $field;
}

// acf/load_field - filter for every field
add_filter('acf/load_field/field_key_for_events_subfield_here', 'my_acf_load_field');
