Hi there,

Bit of a challenge here. Hopefully an creative expert can help me out.

I have two custom post types.

Course_date
and
Course

Both custom post types contain a custom field “course_id”

Course has a repeater field (for dates).

I’m looking for a solution for the following:

If I add or delete a course_date post, I need the repeater field of the course post type with the same course_id to be updated. (added, updated or removed) with the dates (default WordPress dates).

Does anyone have any idea on how to do this? (maybe other way around? If I save course, check for the course_date fields? (could resave courses with a cronjob).

Reason I’m not just using a repeater field is for importing / updating purposes (WP All Import from google spreadsheet). And I need the repeater field for filtering purposes (WP Gridbuilder).

I do not have code to help you with this. Just an outline of what you need to do.

You need to create an acf/save_post action for the course date post. Or you may need to use the WP save_post action . In your function you would do a query to find/get the course post with the same ID and then you would use add_row() to add to the repeater on the course post.
