Pre populate repeater in a flexible content

Hello,

I’m trying to pre populate a repeater inside a flexible content, using:

add_filter( 'acf/load_value/key=field_mykey', 'default_fields', 10, 3 );
add_filter( 'acf/load_value/name=content_name', 'default_fields', 10, 3 );

I’m able to:
– populate a repeater outside a flexible content
– populate a flexible content with a block

but I’m not able to pre populate a repeater inside a flexible content added dynamically with the button “add block”…

So what I would like to achieve is:
– create a new post
– the flexible content is empty
– click “add block” and add the pre populated repeater

is it somehow possible?

many thanks
Francesco

I haven’t found a solution for this but I found another solution that fit my problem, with this code is possible to pre-populate nested fields with some default value:

add_filter('acf/load_value/key=field_607879a1215fc',  'acf_load_default', 10, 3);
function acf_load_default($value, $post_id, $field)
{

  if ($value === false) {

    $value = array();

    $value[] = array(
      'field_6081eeaf5a418' => 'Example Title One',
    );
    $value[] = array(
      'field_6081eeaf5a418' => 'Example Title Two',
      'field_6081eeb75a419' => array(
        array('field_6081eebf5a41a' => 'Example Title Three'),
        array('field_6081eebf5a41a' => 'Example Title Four')
      )
    );
  }

  return $value;
}
