I did a search for the ability for ACF Pro to be able to collapse repeater fields and found many posts. Some of these said it can’t be done, others led to a plugin that no longer works. Then I found this update: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/blog/acf-pro-5-3-2-update/ that says ACF Pro can now collapse repeater fields and shows a screenshot of this along with an arrow icon.
I upgraded to ACF Pro specifically for this feature but I do not get a collapse icon on any of my repeater fields and I have tried both row and block layouts. I didn’t bother trying with table as that layout is nearly unusable for multiple options. The screenshot is using the block layout so I assume this should be working.
Was this featured removed, could it be a theme issue or am I missing something here?
Hi @ryanvegaswebsitedesigns-com
Please keep in mind that you need to set the Collapsed option on your repeater field settings. This option needed to let ACF know which field you want to show when you collapse the row. I’ve attached a screenshot for your reference.
I hope this helps 🙂
That worked! Not sure if that field showed up after the Pro upgrade or was always there… but either way I never saw it until you pointed it out. Thank you very much for your help.
I have a field selected under “Collapsed” but the collapse functionality is still missing from my repeaters. Any idea how I can get this working? FYI, I am a pro subscriber/user. Thanks!

I followed John’s steps here and solved it. I might suggest making that icon more visible and similar to the other collapse icons for best ux. Thanks all!
