A clean approach here tested in version 5.5.7, you can just set a default value in the repeater field like this (note: you need to do these edits in the PHP export code. Note 2: Check the ‘default_value’ key passed to the array):
array (
'key' => 'key_58c7ee3a37aee',
'label' => 'Table',
'name' => 'table',
'type' => 'repeater',
'instructions' => '',
'required' => 1,
'conditional_logic' => 0,
'wrapper' => array (
'width' => '',
'class' => '',
'id' => '',
),
'collapsed' => '',
'min' => 0,
'max' => 0,
'default_value' => array(
array(
'field_58984ddb5b8cc' => 'My title',
'field_58985045abac0' => 'My content',
),
array(
'field_58984ddb5b8cc' => 'Another title for a content-less row',
),
),
'layout' => 'table',
'button_label' => 'Add Row',
'sub_fields' => array (
array (
'key' => 'field_58984ddb5b8cc',
'label' => 'Title',
'name' => 'title',
'type' => 'text',
'instructions' => '',
'required' => 1,
'conditional_logic' => 0,
'wrapper' => array (
'width' => '40%',
'class' => '',
'id' => '',
),
'default_value' => '',
'placeholder' => '',
'prepend' => '',
'append' => '',
'maxlength' => '',
'readonly' => 0,
'disabled' => 0,
),
array (
'key' => 'field_58985045abac0',
'label' => 'Content',
'name' => 'content',
'type' => 'text',
'instructions' => '',
'required' => 1,
'conditional_logic' => 0,
'wrapper' => array (
'width' => '60%',
'class' => '',
'id' => '',
),
'default_value' => '',
),
),
),
Hope this saves someone’s time,
Cheers !
