Hi @folosophy

You should be able to do it like this:

function my_acf_set_repeater( $value, $post_id, $field ){
    
    $value = array();
    
    // this one should consists array of the names
    $settings_values = get_field('medication_types','option');
    
    foreach( $settings_values as $settings_value ){
        $value []= array('field_1234567890abc' => $settings_value['name_field'], 'field_abc1234567890' => '');
    }

    return $value;
}

// acf/load_value/name={$field_name} - filter for a specific value load based on it's field name
add_filter('acf/load_value/key=field_582e290a22e62', 'my_acf_set_repeater', 10, 3);

Where “field_1234567890abc” is the name field key, “field_abc1234567890” is the value field key, and “name_field” is the name field in the “medication_types” repeater.

I hope this helps 🙂
