Thanks John, i did manage to track multiple iterations for multiple nested sub fields. Your class was my guide to be able to eventually achieve this, it took me many days to complete.

Hi John, That’s really useful, wish i had found this sooner it would saved me a day or so.

I’m really interested in your filtering is a sub field in repeater that is nested in another repeater that is then nested in a group field that is nested in another repeater.

I am trying and failing to update my sub fields of nested repeaters.

I have the following options page, basically i want to create business events (repeater 1)

Field Group: group_6380cf9026f49
Repeater (1): field_6380d01f71839 (these are events)
Group(1): field_645e4a88f718e
Group(2): field_645e3a33aa018
Repeater (2): field_646205bfe80ff
Group (3): field_6462172e85e75
Select field: field_646206abe8102 (these are Tips)

The select field is grabbing a field group name from a field in Group (2): field_645e628bf1588 which pulls all the field name values as choices from another field group.

I’ve used your class code solution and it fetches the group name fine from Group (2): field_645e628bf1588, i can see it’s pulling back the field group values for Select field (field_646206abe8102)

But the sub repeater that allows people to select the Tips per event aren’t the correct fields for the event when either adding new tips or editing previous tips. The very first tip in the first event is fine, then they are all out of sync to the row index or don’t show at all.

I think i need another index counter for the sub rows, but i am not quite sure how best to achieve this. Would love to know more on how you handle this? especially as i’m going crazy now

class MY_PROJECT_NAME_acf_filters 
{

    // variable for row index
    private $my_field_name_index = 0;

    public function __construct()
    {
        // add a filter when preparing repeater for monitoring index count
        // Field: event -> field_6380d01f71839
        add_filter('acf/prepare_field/key=field_6380d01f71839', array($this, 'init_my_field_name_index'));

        // add filter for ths sub field that you want to filter
        // FIeld: tips field_646206abe8102
        add_filter('acf/prepare_field/name=field_646206abe8102', array($this, 'filter_my_sub_field_name'));
    }

    public function init_my_field_name_index($field)
    {
        $this->my_field_name_index = 0;
        return $field;
    }

    public function filter_my_sub_field_name($field)
    {
            // Get the index count
            $row_index = $this->my_field_name_index;

            //acf[field_6380d01f71839][row-2][field_645e4a88f718e][field_645e3a33aa018][field_646205bfe80ff][acfcloneindex][field_6462172e85e75]" (overview group)
           

            // Get Group Key Name from Group(2): field_645e3a33aa018  -> field_645e628bf1588 
            $getGroupKey = get_option('events_judging_event_' . $row_index . '_all_settings_judging_settings_judging_field_group');

            if ($getGroupKey) {
                $field['choices'] = [];

                // Get all fields for the group
                $choices = acf_get_fields($getGroupKey);

                if (is_array($choices)) {
                    // loop through array and add to field 'choices'
                    foreach ($choices as $choice) {
                        //Set the select values
                        if ($choice['type'] != 'message') {
                            $field['choices'][$choice['key']] = $choice['label']; 
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

            // after filtering increment the field index
            $this->my_field_name_index++;
            return $field;
        } else {
            return $field;
        }
    
}
new MY_PROJECT_NAME_acf_filters ();

Thanks John.

I found and tested this:

if ( current_user_can('manage_options') ) {
add_action( 'load-edit.php', function() {
	  add_filter( 'views_edit-cptname', 'function_name_to_Call' ); 
});
}

It loads in content into that header above the table perfectly, i can load in ACF field values but i cannot get the form in.

I haven’t tried acf_form() yet

Maybe i’ll mess about with it first.
