@nathanaelphilip @hube2 Thanks guys for a wonderful answer. I spoke to representatives of this website you mentioned: https://www.intercom.com/ unfortunately they said they cant help out with what I need. Is there any other portal you guys can recommend?
Also I came across this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/private-messages-for-wordpress/ it creates another table to handle messages. Is this a better option to have different table?

OK I solved it by updating select field using value directly instead of using as array.

$field_key = "field_5a70533ef099f";
$value = "req-pending";
update_field( $field_key, $value, $post );

Now it works fine.

@nathanaelphilip I think you are right but still its baffling how it changes on second time the post is saved.

Hi i managed to create the single array:

$addmore_deadline_cat_fees = array();
if (have_rows('add_more_deadlines')):
while (have_rows('add_more_deadlines')) : the_row();

    $array = array();

    if (have_rows('categories_and_fees')):
    while (have_rows('categories_and_fees')) : the_row();
    
        $array_val = get_sub_field('fee');
    
        array_push($array,$array_val);
    
    endwhile;endif;
    
    $addmore_deadline_cat_fees = array_merge($addmore_deadline_cat_fees, $array);
endwhile;endif;
print_r($addmore_deadline_cat_fees);

The sub field is just a text field which is a repeater within a repeater.

Hi, I have tried this:

$value = array();
// later
$value[] = get_sub_field('fee');
print_r($value);

but its still giving me this:
Array ( [0] => 2500 ) Array ( [0] => 3000 ) Array ( [0] => 3500 ) Array ( [0] => 4000 )

• in reply to: Populate select field with values from repeater field
• September 5, 2017 at 4:36 pm

I did something like this to populate a select field.

add_filter('acf/load_field/key=field_59969e19e1e31', 'my_acf_load_field');
function my_acf_load_field( $field ){
    $field['choices'] = array();
    $field['choices'][''] = '';
    $titles = array();
	$args = array(
        'post_type' => array('some_post_type'),
        'post_status' => 'publish',
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
        'orderby' => 'title',
        'order' => 'ASC',
    );        
    $clients = get_posts( $args );
	foreach ( $clients as $client ) {
		$choices[] = $client->ID;
        $titles[] = $client->post_title;
	}
    if( is_array($choices) ){
		foreach (array_combine($choices, $titles) as $choice => $title) {
            $field['choices'][ $choice ] = $title;
        }
	}
    return $field;
}
