@John – Thanks for the reply. I was able to kind of find a solution for this in this thread here: load_field – repeater adds empty fields to Field Group, however there is an issue with ACF adding multiple empty fields on Field Group update when having an array
inside of 'sub_fields' => array()
.
It would be best if I close this and continue on the other thread in hand.
Thanks.
But to answer you question – I am trying to create default subfields without having to add them manually via ACF.
