Hi @hyperarts
Thanks for sharing your workaround.
Like I said before, “_primary” is the reference key of the repeater field in the database. Please take a look at this page once more: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/update_field/#field_key-vs%20field_name.
When you use the update_sub_field()
function, it creates the reference for the subfield in the database, but not for the repeater itself.
Another workaround, you can use the update_field()
function and pass an empty array to it before the update_sub_field()
loop. Maybe something like this:
update_field( 'field_559eee03f62d2', array(), $post_id );
That way, the repeater will be initialized first and have the reference key and an empty value.
I hope this makes sense. Thanks!
