Getting values from nested repeater in admin area

Hello,
I have a nested repeater field and I’m trying to get some values from the nested repeater field on button click via AJAX.

Inside my repeater field “day_repeater” I have a date field “date” and a repeater field “accommodation” and inside the “accommodation” repeater field I have a text field “notes” and a post object field for my custom post type “accommodations”.

I’ve created an AJAX script that runs the PHP function “email_sender” to get the values printed in the console.log (later I’m going to use the values to send them via email to my customers – there is a commented code for that).

The problem is that I can’t get the values from my repeater fields (field “date” in repeater field “day_repeater” and field “notes” in nested repeater field “accommodation”) instead it returns null in the console log. I’ve tried the same code on the front end and I get all the values when I echo them.

Here is my PHP code email-sender.php

// Get values from repeater fields and send email to partner with Accommodation info
add_action('wp_ajax_email_sender', 'email_sender');
function email_sender($field) {
    if( have_rows('day_repeater') ):
        // loop through the rows of data
        while ( have_rows('day_repeater') ) : the_row();

        $date = get_sub_field('date'); // I need values from this field
        
            // LOOP FOR NESTED REPEATER FIELD
            if ( get_field('accommondation') ):
                while( has_sub_field('accommondation') ) : the_row();
                
                $notes = the_sub_field('notes'); // I need values from this field

                endwhile;
            endif;
        endwhile;
    endif;

    $post_id = $_POST["post_id"];
    $args = array(
        'p' => $post_id,
        'numberposts'=> -1,           // Fetch all posts...
        'post_type'=> 'accommodations',      // from the 'accommodation' CPT...
    );

    $accommodations = new WP_Query( $args );

    if ( $accommodations->have_posts() ) : while ( $accommodations->have_posts() ) : $accommodations->the_post();
        // Get values from CPT Accommodations
        $title = get_field('title');
        $partnerName = get_field('partner_name');
        $partnerEmail = get_field('partner_email');
        wp_reset_postdata();
        endwhile;
    endif;

    // Values that get printed in the console log
    $values = array(
        'title' => $title,
        'partnerName' => $partnerName,
        'notes' => $notes,
        'date' => $date
    );
    wp_send_json($values);

    /* // Send email to partner
        $subject = 'Test mail';

        ob_start(); ?>

        <p><?php echo ($title); ?></p>
        <p><?php echo ($partnerName); ?></p>
        <p><?php echo ($notes); ?></p>

        <?php
        $message = ob_get_contents();
        ob_end_clean();
        wp_mail( $partnerEmail, $subject, $message );
    */
    ?>
<?php }
//end

//Add button to trigger AJAX script
function my_acf_email_button($field) {
  echo '<div class="acf-field"><button type="submit" id="email_send" class="button">Send email</button></div>';
	return $field;
}
add_filter('acf/prepare_field/name=send_inquery', 'my_acf_email_button');
//end

// Localize email-sender.js script to wordpress admin-ajax.php
function js_email_send() {
  wp_enqueue_script ("ajax-email-sender", get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . "/inc/assets/js/email-sender.js", array('jquery')); 
  //ajax_email_sender will use to print admin-ajaxurl in email-sender.js
  wp_localize_script('ajax-email-sender', 'ajax_email_sender', array('ajaxurl' =>admin_url('admin-ajax.php')));
} 
add_action("admin_enqueue_scripts", "js_email_send");
//end

and here is my AJAX script email-sender.js

jQuery(document).on( 'click', '#email_send', function( slanje ){
    slanje.preventDefault();
    // Picks post ID from relationship field
    var post_id = jQuery('.acf-row .acf-fields .acf-field .acf-input select option:selected').val();

    jQuery.ajax({
        url: ajax_email_sender.ajaxurl,
        type: "POST",
        dataType: 'json',
        data: {
            action: 'email_sender', // PHP function that is run
            post_id: post_id,
        },
        success: function(data){
            console.log(data)
        },
        error: function(error){
            console.log(error)
        },
    });
});

Also here is a screenshot of the console log and the repeater field

Any idea how to get the values from the “date” and “note” fields in the console?
I’m out of ideas and I don’t know what to try and where to look anymore. :/

Thank you in advance!
