HI WooHoo,
Yes. I run function add_row in my repeater_field loop.

In ma case I have:
Lesson / main repeater
– Lesson active / subfield true/false
– Lesson finished / subfield true/false
– Notes / nested repeater
— Note – custom sub field
— Note date – another custom sub field

I need to create empty Notes row at first page run for each lesson. This is a part of much complicated script. It`s a little complicated to explain 🙂

if( have_rows('lesson') ): 

    while ( have_rows('lesson') ) : the_row(); 
   
        //////////////////////////////////////////////////////
        // Generate empty rows for each lesson at first run
        //////////////////////////////////////////////////////
        
        // here i have date field which is empty at first start 
        // date is generated at the end 
        if (get_field('start_date') == ''){ 
            
                $row = array(
                	'lesson_date'	=> 1,
                	'lesson_finished'	=> 0,
                );
                // add_row('lesson', $row); // this wont work 
                add_row('field_579eeb638c835', $row); // you must take key of custom field "lesson"
                
        } 
    endwhile;
endif;

// fill the field with current date
if (empty(get_field('start_date'))){
    update_field('start_date', date(Ymd));
}

Then I need to add notes to lesson no2 – I have for exaple 5 lessons – 5 main repeater field row.

//This is a part of ajax call
$lesson_id = 2; // main repeater field 

if( have_rows('lesson',$post_id) ): 
 
    while ( have_rows('lesson',$post_id) ) : the_row();
          
          if( get_sub_field('notes', $post_id) ){  
                
              $notes_row = get_sub_field('notes', $post_id);

          } else {
           
           $notes_row =  array();
           
          }
          
            // Check variables for fallbacks
            if (!isset($input_text) || $input_text == "") { break; }
            
            array_push($notes_row, array( 'note' => $input_text , 'note_date' => date('d.m.Y') ));
            $notes_row = array( 'notes' => $notes_row );
            update_row('lesson', $lesson_id , $notes_row, $post_id); 
          
        }

    endwhile;

endif;
