Problem with nested Repeater Fields

Hi at all,

I have a problem with nested Repeater Fields. I tried and searched for hours but didn’t find a solution, so I hope you can help me.

My homepage is a singlepager where the contents are selected via a Post Object Field (new-content) within a Repeater field (content-order) on an Option Page.

The selected contents can have a page Layout with Tabs, where each Tab is also a Post Object Field (tab-content) within a Repeater Field (tabs).

The Problem is, that only the first Element of the Post Object Field in the Tabs is displayed. Can someone help me?

The Code looks like this:

<?php
    if( have_rows('content-order', 'option') ):
        while ( have_rows('content-order', 'option') ) : the_row();
            $post_object = get_sub_field('new-content', 'option');

            if( $post_object ): 

                // override $post
                $post = $post_object;
                setup_postdata( $post );
?>
   
    
        <?php the_content(); ?>
        
        
        <?php if( have_rows('tabs') ): ?>

    
    <?php
        while ( have_rows('tabs') ) : the_row();
            $post_object = get_sub_field('tab-content');

            if( $post_object ): 

                // override $post
                $post = $post_object;
                setup_postdata( $post );
	?>
    
    <?php the_title(); ?>
   
    <?php wp_reset_postdata(); endif; endwhile; ?>

<?php endif; ?>
        
    <?php wp_reset_postdata(); endif; endwhile; endif; ?>

The problem is that you cannot have multiple post loops the way you have them set up.

Please see my explanation of the problem here https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/nested-post-object-fields/#post-48227

You need to loop through the second relationship field in some other way than using setup_postdata()/reset_postdata() and you’ll need to use a different method of getting the values from the fields.
