Hi Guys, Im basically trying to load ACF sub field values on creation of a new custom post type. I have this working at a top level but Im having trouble drilling down to load sub field values when using sub flexible content fields. Can anyone help as I can’t find a reference in the documentation.

add_filter('acf/load_value/name=driving_for_work_policy_v2', 'add_starting_repeaterv2', 10, 3);
  function  add_starting_repeaterv2($value, $post_id, $field) {
    if ($value !== NULL) {
      // $value will only be NULL on a new post
      return $value;
    }
    
    // add default layouts
    $value = array(
      array(
        //this is the top level layout field 
        'acf_fc_layout' => 'policy_statement',
// this field just below is a sub flexible content field containing various sub field values which I'm currentlt having trouble loading
		'policy_statement_section' => array(
                array(
                    'acf_fc_layout' => 'policy_statement',
                ),
                array(
                    'acf_fc_layout' => 'non_compliance',
                ),
                array(
                    'acf_fc_layout' => 'policy_monitoring',
                ),
                array(
                    'acf_fc_layout' => 'additional_section',
                ),
                
        ),
      ),
      
      array(
        //add block 2  these all work as they are not flex fields
        'acf_fc_layout' => 'the_driver' 
      ),
      array(
        //add block 3
        'acf_fc_layout' => 'the_vehicle'
      ),
      array(
        //add block 4  
        'acf_fc_layout' => 'the_journey'
      ),
      array(
        //add block 5 
        'acf_fc_layout' => 'grey_fleet_drivers'
      ),
      array(
        //add block 6  
        'acf_fc_layout' => 'additional_section'
      ),
    );
    
    return $value;
}
