Merge data during fields modification

  • Hi,

    I’m sorry if my title isn’t very evocative, it is difficult to sum up. I’ll describe my problem directly to avoid confusing theory.

    Through a Gutemberg custom block, I made a dynamic table editor using a repeater field, which rows have three fields corresponding to the three columns of the table.

    Among those three field there’s one which is a “file” field.

    I wonder if it is possible to replace it by a “group” field, and put this file field into this group, without losing the data that have already been written in pages containing this block for this file field ?

    So I mean, merge or move the data of the file field to a group field->file field.

    Currently if I do that even by keeping the same field name, it won’t show the files anymore, cause the structure is changed.

    Thank you in advance.

  • No, you cannot alter the hierarchy of fields without needing to re-enter that data. Altering the hierarchy of fields causes the meta_key of the field to change.
