Reply To: Using repeater for look up not working

Kind of solved:

If I prevent the function from break-ing out of the loop once I’ve found the element I need the process works correctly.

If I break out at the point of finding the element I need the next time the function runs it continues where it left off in the previous loop and therefore misses repeated searches.

function get_column_content($columnId){
	while(have_rows("adv_columns",get_the_ID())){
	   the_row();
	   if(get_sub_field('column_id')==$columnId){
	      $found= get_sub_field('content');
	   }
	}
	return $found;
}
