hello john,

thanks for the quick response. no, i’don’t use the repeater field. here is an example which might help to understand my approach:

– i build a custom post type for a special electronic device
– this post type consists of a lot of data: text-fields, dropdowns, checkboxes and one image field.
– my client has a csv table with all the different models every single model is one instance of this custom post type. that means, every post has it’s own image that i want to store in the image field.

if i need the image id this might further complicate things, since i don’t have the ids but the name or the url of the image files. but i will try to expreimentate with the ids to, that might be a good hint.

and yes, i use the field_key when calling update_field().

best regards
philipp
