Hi @sonnenschauer

I believe you posted the scripts as separate posts with the same post title. I’m afraid this is more of a PHP and WP issue than ACF issue. For something like this, I suggest you ask to PHP or WP community instead. But, I have created an example logic for this situation:

<?php
if ( $custom_query->have_posts() ) :

    $current_video_number = false;
    $current_topic = false;
    $current_timestamp = false;
    $current_chosen = false;
    
    while ( $custom_query->have_posts() ) : $custom_query->the_post();
    
        $temp_video_number = get_field('video_number');
        $temp_topic = get_field('topic');
        $temp_timestamp = get_field('timestamp');
        $temp_chosen = get_field('chosen');
        
        if( !$current_video_number ){
            $current_video_number = $temp_video_number;
            $current_topic = $temp_topic;
            $current_timestamp = $temp_timestamp;
            $current_chosen = $temp_chosen;
        } elseif ( $current_video_number == $temp_video_number ) {
            $current_timestamp = $temp_timestamp;
            if( $temp_chosen == 'Yes' || ($current_chosen == 'No' && $temp_chosen == 'Yes') ) {
                $current_chosen = 'Yes';
            } else {
                $current_chosen = 'No';
            }
        } else {
            echo $current_video_number;
            echo $current_topic;
            echo $current_timestamp;
            echo $current_chosen;
            
            $current_video_number = $temp_video_number;
            $current_topic = $temp_topic;
            $current_timestamp = $temp_timestamp;
            $current_chosen = $temp_chosen;
        }

    endwhile;
    
endif;
wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

Thanks 🙂
