Repeater field is not updating with programmatically added post, also with key

Hello, I already have this issue but not works with fields key.

If I insert the id of a post created manually it works fine. Any suggestions that I’ve not discovered?

Thanks a lot.

My code:

1. Create post programmatically

$id_post = wp_insert_post(array(
    'post_type'=>$post_type,
    'post_title'=>$post_title, 
    'post_status' => 'publish'
));

2. Update all the repeater fields associated to the “post_type”

$cliente_data = array(
         array(
	          "field_582c2f15fab66"	=> 33
         )
 );
 update_field( 'field_582c2ed4fab65', $cliente_data, $id_post );

Hi @andre9999

You should use the subfield name instead of the key for the repeater data. So, it should be like this:

$cliente_data = array(
    array(
        "subfield_name" => 33
    )
);
 update_field( 'field_582c2ed4fab65', $cliente_data, $id_post );

I hope this helps 🙂
