Hi here is my code
if (!empty($_POST['checks'])) {
$metaInput['field_625aae0d867c4'] = [];
foreach ($_POST['checks'] as $check) {
$data = json_decode($check);
$the_values[] = array(
'field_625aae3e867c5'=>$data->firstName,
'field_625aaf65867c6'=>$data->lastName,
'field_625aaf6c867c7'=>$data->checkNumber,
'field_625aaf77867c8'=>$data->accountNumber,
'field_625aaf83867c9'=>$data->bank,
'field_625aaf8b867ca'=>$data->price,
'field_625aaf96867cb'=>$data->date,
);
}
echo '<pre>';
print_r($the_values);
echo "<br>";
echo "post_id is : $post_id";
update_field('field_625aae0d867c4' ,$the_values,$post_id );
but it isn’t working
This
$the_values[] = array( ...
should be
$the_values = array( ...
thanks but its still not working
by the way values I think values should be 2d array since it’s repeater field am I wrong?
I’ve also tested add_row like this but still not working
foreach ($_POST['checks'] as $check) {
$data = json_decode($check);
$the_values = array(
'field_625aae3e867c5'=>$data->firstName,
'field_625aaf65867c6'=>$data->lastName,
'field_625aaf6c867c7'=>$data->checkNumber,
'field_625aaf77867c8'=>$data->accountNumber,
'field_625aaf83867c9'=>$data->bank,
'field_625aaf8b867ca'=>$data->price,
'field_625aaf96867cb'=>$data->date,
);
add_row('field_625aae0d867c4' ,$the_values,$post_id );
}
echo '<pre>';
print_r($the_values);
echo "<br>";
echo "post_id is : $post_id";

My bad, yes, you are right.
Please use code tags
If field_625aae0d867c4 is a repeater and is not some type of sub field I do not see anything. Are your sure that json_decode() is returning a result?
If you are updating multiple rows then update_field() should happen after the loop is completed, not inside the loop for each row.
I don’t know what was the problem but I decided to call it with api (I was using it after post created) and it worked
