  • I know that is an old topic but it worked for me also and I have a question.
    How can we save the selected value from this select field?
    I tried with the following code but it returns null update_field($field, $field['value']

  • Finally, I’ve managed to succesfully populate the repeater field in a select field in every users panel with this function

    function acf_load_select_field_field_choices($field) {
    global $current_user;
    //Get the repeater field values
    $choices = get_field('repeater_field_name',$current_user);
	$field['choices'] = [];
    // loop through array and add to field 'choices'
    if (is_array($choices)) {
        foreach ($choices as $choice) {
            //Set the select values
            $field['choices'][$choice['subfield']] = $choice['subfield'];
        }
    }
    // return the field
    return $field;
}
add_filter('acf/load_field/name=select_field', 'acf_load_select_field_field_choices');

    The only problem that I’m facing right now is that the select field doesn’t update when submitting a form.

    The code that I’m using to display and update the select field is the following

    <?php 
   $field = get_field_object('repeater_field_key');
      if (!empty($field['choices'])) { ?>
           <select>
                <?php foreach ($field['choices'] as $v => $l) { ?>
                    <option value="<?php echo $v; ?>"><?php echo $l; ?></option>
                <?php } ?>
           </select>
      <?php } 
      $current_user_id = get_current_user_id();
      update_field($field, $field['value'], 'user_'.$current_user_id); 
?>

    What am I doing wrong?

  • Actually you helped a lot.
    I was trying to populate the choises from a field group that was showing on users.

    Is it possible to do this on a field group that is showing somewhere else besides options page?
    I’m trying to show this field group on users panel but the populate functions doesn’t work there.

  • UPDATE
    So I’ve managed to display the repeater field as a select box with the following code

    <select name="cars" id="cars">
<?php
// Check rows existexists.

    // Loop through rows.
    while( have_rows('yacht_type1') ) : the_row();

        // Load sub field value.
        $sub_value = get_sub_field('name');
        // Do something...
	
		echo '<option value="'.$sub_value.'">'.$sub_value.'</option>';
	endwhile;
?>
</select>

    Now what I’m actually searching for is how to get and store the value from the select box.

  • After doing some research I think that the best way to achieve this is by creating a repeater field with a text subfield.

    The question now is how can I display this repeater field as a select field with the values of the text subfields and how can I save the value from the select field choise (the repeater field will display in a registration form).
