Hi,

I’m using the RC-1 of ACF Pro and I’m loving the new Group field. It cleans up my CMS screens so much.

However, I want to update a field programmatically. I’ve trying add_row(), add_sub_row(), update_field() etc but can’t get it to work!

I think the issue is I have is that it’s a nested group. So, I have week_opening_times which is a group, which within it there are 7 groups for each day. Then each day has 4 fields in. The tree looks like this

week_opening_times – group
– monday – group
– – opening_time – time
– – closing_time – time
– tuesday – group
– – opening_time – time
– – closing_time – time
…etc…

Does anyone know how to update week_opening_times > monday > opening_time with a PHP function?

I also need to be able to delete fields. Any ideas for that?

@mrsteveheyes did you ever solve this? I’m sitting where you were back in July right now. 🙂
