I’m using the repeatable field option, and it’s working great. Does anyone know if it’s possible to add data from the previous field?

If I have a repeatable field with 3 custom fields. long short mini

Have a corresponding field values with 4 22 33

When I add the next repeatable field I want to add the data from the last repetable field. So the 4 22 and 33 should be automatically added to my next repeatable field?

Hi @malikox,

Thanks for the post.

I suppose you could try hooking into the acf/save_post and then update the next row using the update_sub_field() function.

This will require some logic to check for the row numbers as selectors and then get the $new_value which will be populated via the said function.

For more info on this function, you can have a look at the following resource page: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/update_sub_field/
