Hey James, thanks for the help!
I had to make a tweak to your code to get it to work. I added a counter to modify the $value array instead of building it from scratch (otherwise it replaces any value the user sets with ‘ ‘).
function my_acf_set_repeater( $value, $post_id, $field ){
// echo '<pre>'; print_r($value); echo '</pre>';
// this one should consists array of the names
$settings_values = get_field('medication_types','option');
$i = 0;
foreach( $settings_values as $settings_value ){
$value[$i]['field_582e293d22e63'] = $settings_value['type'];
$i++;
}
//echo '<pre>'; print_r($value); echo '</pre>';
return $value;
}
add_filter('acf/load_value/name=medication', 'my_acf_set_repeater', 10, 3);
I realized, though, that using indexed repeater fields is not a smart way to do this—the client could mess it up by reordering the repeater fields.
I’ll probably redo it as a normal named field repeater, then set the field names as a prefixed version of the medication types fields… that way the client can’t reorder the fields, and they can change the medication type names without wrecking the fields.
Cheers!
