I would generally use

$count = count( get_field('feature_description_repeater') );

To count the number of fields a repeater has. However with a nested repeater his doesn’t work. DOes anyone know how to count a nested repeater? 🙂

Ok I’ve tried this and it works

Basically I put this code in the 1st repeater while…loop,
before the nested repeater starts.

$count = count(get_sub_field('sub_repeater_field_name'))

hope it helps

ACF support gave me the following solution which worked for me.

$rows = get_sub_field('sub_field_of_repeater');
if( have_rows('sub_field_of_repeater') ):
$count = count($rows);
