Hi,

is it possible to populate a textfield inside a repeater, but every time i add a row, the value is different.

Right now, the value is the same, every time i add a row.

function my_acf_load_field( $field ) {
  $rndnumber = random_int(100, 999);
  $field['default_value'] = $rndnumber;
  return $field;
}

//field_5c88dd5d00e5c is the textfield inside the repeater
 add_filter('acf/load_field/key=field_5c88dd5d00e5c', 'my_acf_load_field');

Ok, got it. You do it via the JS Hooks 🙂

acf.addAction('append_field/key=field_5c88dd5d00e5c', append_field);

function append_field($el){
  $el.val(Math.random());
  $el.disable();
}
