Get subfields from a repeater on one page to appear on another page – not workin

I’m trying to grab the values of a repeater field from an English page, and display them on a Chinese page (I’m using Polylang, but that shouldn’t matter). When i dump any of the variables, they aren’t grabbing the English values from the English page (22283) but grabbing the Chinese instead. Doesn’t work when I hardcode the page ID ($regions2 = get_sub_field('regions_list', 22283);) in either. Any ideas?

    	<div class="row">
		    <?php

		    $engID = 22283;
		    $regions2 = get_sub_field('regions_list', $engID);

			foreach ($regions2 as $region2) {

				global $i;
				$i++;
						
					        echo  "<div id='tab-{$i}'>
					        	   <ul class='payment-countries'>";

					        	    $region_loop = strtolower(str_replace(' ', '_', $region2['region_entry']));

					        	    var_dump($region_loop);

									    if(have_rows($region_loop)) : while ( have_rows($region_loop) ) : the_row(); ?>
									    
							       				<div class="col col-4 tab-card">
													<div class="icon-container">
														<span class="icon icon-flags icon--<?php the_sub_field('flag'); ?>"></span>
													</div>
													<h3><?php esc_html(the_sub_field('country')); ?></h3>
													<span class="boldText"><?php echo $most_popular_payment_methods_text; ?></span>
													<ol>
														<?php if(have_rows('list')) : while(have_rows('list')) : the_row(); ?>
															<li><?php esc_html(the_sub_field('method')); ?></li>
														<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
													</ol>
												</div>

									    <?php 
									    endwhile; endif;

					        echo    '</ul>';
						echo '</div>';
			}

			echo '</div>';
			?>
		</div><!--row-->

Hi @websitewalrus

The get_sub_field() does not accept a post_id parameter, please assign this to the have_rows() like so:

// check if the repeater field has rows of data
if( have_rows('repeater_field_name','22283') ):

 	// loop through the rows of data
    while ( have_rows('repeater_field_name','22283') ) : the_row();

        $regions2 = get_sub_field('regions_list');

    endwhile;

else :

    // no rows found

endif;

My setup is a bit more complicated than I explained – but knowing that the_sub_field() doesn’t accept an ID parameter solved my issue!

Rather than using the ‘regions_list’ as a sub field, I added it to an option page and changed the variable for regions2 like this:$regions2 = get_field('regions_list', 'option', $engID);
