Home › Forums › ACF PRO › acf add local field to flexible content › Reply To: acf add local field to flexible content
here is the full output of flexible content. i guess i just cant do what i wanted as i have tried specifying the parent as ‘subfields’ i also tried ‘field_subfields’ and neither worked. Its a real shame that we can import simple single fields into other simple field structures but cant do the same with flexible content.
the reason i am trying to do this is I want to manage and reuse parts of flexible content arrays more effectively. Are there any other methods you would suggest?
