Get select field label within repeater

I want to get the value of ‘select’ field within my repeater field. The solutions I’ve found don’t seem to work – I think it’s because I’m within an array. Here’s my code – I want the H2 in this example to start with the label of the ‘area’ select field, instead of the value:

$representativeArray = get_field('sales_representatives');
if (!empty($representativeArray)) {
	usort($representativeArray, 'sortByGroup');
	$last_group = ''; // initialize the group name
	foreach ($representativeArray as $representative) {
		$this_group = $representative['area'];
		if ($this_group != $last_group) {

			if ($last_group != '') { ?>
				
				</div>
			</div>
		</div><!-- ./remodal -->
				
			<?php }

		$last_group = $this_group; ?>

		<div class="remodal sales-representatives-remodal" data-remodal-id="modal-<?php echo $representative['area']; ?>">
			<button data-remodal-action="close" class="remodal-close"></button>
					
			<h2><?php echo $representative['area']; ?> Sales Team</h2>

			<div class="row">
				<div class="col-sm-8 text-left">					
						
					<?php }

				if( $representative['name'] ) {
					$representative_name = '<i class="fa fa-user-circle color-'.$representative['area'].'"></i><strong>'.$representative['name'].'</strong><br>';
				}
				if( $representative['email'] ) {
					$representative_email = '<i class="fa fa-envelope"></i><a href="mailto:'.$representative['email'].'">'.$representative['email'].'</a><br>';
				}
				echo $representative_name;
				echo $representative_email;
				echo '
';

	} // end foreach
} // end if personArray
?>

for reference I have tried this solution, but it’s not working for me:

Any help appreciated!

Hi @elsmore

For nested fields such as your select field, you will need to make use of a repeater loop. This can be achieved by using the have_rows() loop and then call the select field within this by making use of the get_sub_field() function as described on this page: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/repeater/

I hope this info helps.
