I have an advanced custom repeater field that has radio buttons. I want the user to be able to add and delete values to the radio button field. Preferably via an options page. Is this possible?
Hi @RobertoCoppi
Just to clarify, do you want a repeater field on the options page where your client can edit a list of choices? These choices would be used to populate a radio field somewhere else?
There is already a tutorial for this:

Hi Elliot,
Thanks for you reply. I would like to take it one step further and populate a radio field in another repeater with the values from the options page.
Is that possible?
Hi @RobertoCoppi
Yes, the tutorial shows how to populate a select field, this is exactly the same procedure as a radio button field.
The fact that the field appears in a repeater is not relevant. As a tip, please use the field_key to target the load_field filter!
Thanks

Thans Elliot,
I think I’m not explaining myself properly. I don’t want a radio button field on the front end of the website populated by a list from the options page. I want a radio button field on the back end populated.
So my cliënt is a photographer and has a portfolio. He can add pictures via a repeater and assign a category and set to an image. I want these categories and sets to be editable as well and be predefined by me in the custom fields admin panel.
Thanks!
Hi @RobertoCoppi
Yes, this is exactly what I interpreted it as.
The acf/load_field filter will allow you to modify the field in the ‘back-end’. You can populate the choices element of the $field array and your client will see the choices when inputting data.
All is explained in the above tutorial
Sorry for wasting your time. You we’re right all along and I misunderstood you. Thanks for the great help and great plugin.
