acf/load_value for Repeater inside Flexible Content

Hi everyone,

I am trying to pre-populate a repeater field, that is located inside a flexible content field, and need help with figuring out what I am doing wrong.

I tried add_filter('acf/load_value/name=competitor_table', 'afc_load_my_repeater_value', 10, 3); and add_filter('acf/load_value/key=field_63995a8ada6b0', 'afc_load_my_repeater_value', 10, 3); but it only loads the values after I save and refresh the page.

I also tried changing the priority to lower or higher, but still no luck.

My code example that will not work:

add_filter('acf/load_value/name=competitor_table',  'afc_load_my_repeater_value', 1, 3);
function afc_load_my_repeater_value($value, $post_id, $field)
{

  $value  = array();
  $value[] = array(
    'field_63995a8ada6b0' => 'Same day physician access',
    'field_63995accda6b1' => 'yes',
    'field_63995b10da6b3' => 'yes',
    'field_63995b17da6b4' => 'no'
  );
  $value[] = array(
    'field_63995a8ada6b0' => 'Physical card copy',
    'field_63995accda6b1' => 'yes',
    'field_63995b10da6b3' => 'yes',
    'field_63995b17da6b4' => 'yes'
  );
  return $value;
}

Is the filter actually being called when creating a new post?

Add to the top of the function and see if you get output from it

echo '<pre>'; var_dump($value); echo '</pre>';

You should use the field key variant.
