Use repeater as a 'select'

Hi there.

I’m new here and in ACF plugin that I find amazing !
I didn’t buy the ‘repeater’ premium add-on but I will if it work for that :

I use ACF with wp_paypal_simple_shopping_cart. With a field type ‘text’ I define the price and with a field type ‘select’ I define some options like colors or whatever. The thing is that you must have your options created before in the ACF plugin and you cannot create it when you write a new article (or page, or other custom post types).

With the premium add on ‘repeater’, will it be possible to have a list of options that I can use to make a ‘select’ in my template (I will use fields type text and I will transform it to a ‘select’ in my template)?

I hope you understand what I mean. I’m french and my english miss some technical words to explain better.

Thanks in advance,

regards.

Hi @Buldozerben

Yes, If you use a repeater field on the product to create a list of possible text values, You can then use these values on the front end to create a select input!
