Reply To: Repeater Relationship Post Fields from Array

[Edited to remove sleepy mistakes…]

Elliot, thanks again for the info. For anyone who is interested, I wanted to post some code here that worked for me in using a post_object within a repeater. I had originally started this way but couldn’t find many examples on post_object syntax to copy… That’s why I went with the relationship in a repeater.

Your example for a relationship within a repeater worked for sure, but the interface was actually a little bit difficult for my editor to figure out because it allows multiple entries within one repeater row. The single-select post_object seems better to me because we want just 1. related case A, custom description A … 2. related case B, custom description B.

Here is my first pass at adapting code from this other question about post objects in repeaters. I’m probably doing a number of things wrong here (I run it twice, there are probably unused variables), but I get the result I’m looking for, at 3am no less! If anyone cares to optimize or correct me, please feel free!

THANKS
