Hi James

Thank you for the reply!

I think I’m “OK” with the clone field side of things, actually. I was mentioning for context, but I think you’re completely right – it’s irrelevant in this context.

One crucial thing I somehow didn’t mention is that the value I’m trying to get is inside a flexible content layout, nested inside a repeater.

The fields look like:

- Repeater (columns) - attached to a CPT single

	- Flex layout blocks (inside columns)

		- Text field (inside Flex layout)
		- Highlight field (inside Flex layout)

For this reason, get_field('highlight_color', $post_id) can’t retrieve the correct value.

Through the acf/format_value/type=text filter, I am able to get the info as per my initial post, including the parent ID and the parent_layout key.

So in this case, the current field ID is 2126 and it’s parent is 2123.

What I’m therefore trying to do (in pseudo code) is:

Get the value of a field who's parent is 2123 and name is highlight_color

Thanks again
