sort of, do you have an example?

sweet, however the issue is actually the_flexible_field(),
get_row_layout() is not finding the layout. i have tried getting ‘repeat_content’ and ‘content_columns’ but neither is working<?php while(the_flexible_field('flexible_content')): echo '<h2>flexi heading</h2>'; switch (get_row_layout()): case 'repeat_content': echo '<h2>heading</h2>'; if (function_exists('repeat_content')): content_columns(); else: echo 'content col is not enabled'; endif; break; case 'includes': if (function_exists('ml_acf_include')): ml_acf_include(); else: echo 'includes is not enabled'; endif; break; endswitch; endwhile;heres the output of flexible_content

i realize the values are not outputting on the frontend. how would i output the value of
acf_add_local_field( array ( 'key' => 'field_5237950f6c6e4', 'label' => 'url', 'name' => 'img_link_url', 'type' => 'text', 'parent' => 'field_repeatable_key', ) );(keep in mind this is a field within a repeater) on the frontend

thanks for your help. this is working now. it was related to another issue
<?php if( function_exists('acf_add_local_field_group') ) { acf_add_local_field_group( array ( 'key' => 'group_56ff5b11d1775', 'title' => 'add component', 'fields' => array ( array ( 'key' => 'field_flex_key', 'label' => 'flexible content', 'name' => 'flexible_content', 'type' => 'flexible_content', 'instructions' => '', 'wrapper' => array ( 'width' => '', 'class' => '', 'id' => '', ), 'button_label' => 'Add Row', 'min' => '', 'max' => '', 'layouts' => array ( array ( 'key' => 'layout_key', 'name' => 'sample_label', 'label' => 'sample label', 'display' => 'block', 'min' => '', 'max' => '', ), ), ), ), 'location' => array ( array ( array ( 'param' => 'post_type', 'operator' => '==', 'value' => 'post', ), ), ), 'menu_order' => 0, 'position' => 'normal', 'style' => 'default', 'label_placement' => 'top', 'instruction_placement' => 'label', 'hide_on_screen' => '', 'active' => 1, 'description' => '', ) ); acf_add_local_field( array ( 'key' => 'field_57032097d3ac0', 'label' => 'Content Columns', 'name' => 'content_columns', 'type' => 'tab', 'parent' => 'field_flex_key', //flex field key 'parent_layout' => 'layout_key', // layout key 'instructions' => '', 'required' => 0, 'conditional_logic' => 0, 'wrapper' => array ( 'width' => '', 'class' => '', 'id' => '', ), 'placement' => 'top', 'endpoint' => 0, ) ); acf_add_local_field( array ( 'key' => 'field_repeatable_key', 'label' => 'Repeatable image with optional link', 'name' => 'repeatable_imgs', 'type' => 'repeater', 'parent' => 'field_flex_key', //flex field key 'parent_layout' => 'layout_key', // layout key 'row_min' => 0, 'row_limit' => '', 'layout' => 'table', 'button_label' => 'Add image', ) ); acf_add_local_field( array ( 'key' => 'field_5237950f6c6e4', 'label' => 'url', 'name' => 'img_link_url', 'type' => 'text', 'parent' => 'field_repeatable_key', ) ); acf_add_local_field( array ( 'key' => 'field_styling_tab', 'label' => 'Row Styling', 'name' => 'row_styling', 'type' => 'tab', 'parent' => 'field_flex_key', //flex field key 'parent_layout' => 'layout_key', // layout key 'instructions' => '', 'required' => 0, 'conditional_logic' => 0, 'wrapper' => array ( 'width' => '', 'class' => '', 'id' => '', ), 'placement' => 'top', 'endpoint' => 0, ) ); acf_add_local_field( array ( 'key' => 'field_570320bbd3ac1', 'label' => 'row class', 'name' => 'row_class', 'type' => 'text', 'parent' => 'field_flex_key', //flex field key 'parent_layout' => 'layout_key', // layout key 'instructions' => '', 'required' => 0, 'conditional_logic' => 0, 'wrapper' => array ( 'width' => '', 'class' => '', 'id' => '', ), 'default_value' => '', 'placeholder' => '', 'prepend' => '', 'append' => '', 'maxlength' => '', 'readonly' => 0, 'disabled' => 0, ) ); } ?> -
that is not the issue. the row class needs to be outside of the repeater.
here is what i am trying to replicate with tabs and ‘add local field group’
<?php acf_add_local_field_group(array ( 'key' => 'group_57031a424348c', 'title' => 'content_columns', 'fields' => array ( array ( 'key' => 'field_57032097d3ac0', 'label' => 'Content Columns', 'name' => 'content_columns', 'type' => 'tab', 'instructions' => '', 'required' => 0, 'conditional_logic' => 0, 'wrapper' => array ( 'width' => '', 'class' => '', 'id' => '', ), 'placement' => 'top', 'endpoint' => 0, ), array ( 'key' => 'field_57031a4b179b3', 'label' => 'content columns', 'name' => 'content_columns', 'type' => 'repeater', 'instructions' => '', 'required' => 0, 'conditional_logic' => 0, 'wrapper' => array ( 'width' => '', 'class' => '', 'id' => '', ), 'collapsed' => '', 'min' => '', 'max' => '', 'layout' => 'table', 'button_label' => 'Add Content Column', 'sub_fields' => array ( array ( 'key' => 'field_5704f37ef4e95', 'label' => 'text_area', 'name' => 'text_area', 'type' => 'wysiwyg', 'instructions' => '', 'required' => 0, 'conditional_logic' => 0, 'wrapper' => array ( 'width' => '', 'class' => '', 'id' => '', ), 'default_value' => '', 'tabs' => 'all', 'toolbar' => 'full', 'media_upload' => 1, ), ), ), array ( 'key' => 'field_570320bbd3ac1', 'label' => 'Row Styling', 'name' => 'row_styling', 'type' => 'tab', 'instructions' => '', 'required' => 0, 'conditional_logic' => 0, 'wrapper' => array ( 'width' => '', 'class' => '', 'id' => '', ), 'placement' => 'top', 'endpoint' => 0, ), array ( 'key' => 'field_57031acc179b6', 'label' => 'row class', 'name' => 'row_class', 'type' => 'text', 'instructions' => '', 'required' => 0, 'conditional_logic' => 0, 'wrapper' => array ( 'width' => '', 'class' => '', 'id' => '', ), 'default_value' => '', 'placeholder' => '', 'prepend' => '', 'append' => '', 'maxlength' => '', 'readonly' => 0, 'disabled' => 0, ), ), 'location' => array ( array ( array ( 'param' => 'post_type', 'operator' => '==', 'value' => 'post', ), ), array ( array ( 'param' => 'post_type', 'operator' => '==', 'value' => 'page', ), ), ), 'menu_order' => 0, 'position' => 'normal', 'style' => 'default', 'label_placement' => 'top', 'instruction_placement' => 'label', 'hide_on_screen' => '', 'active' => 1, 'description' => '', )); ?> -
awesome. that works. im now trying to solve it using tabs too. here im trying to break the fields into two tabs. havent figured it out yet though as the last tab has no fields attached to it.

Thanks for your help with this. I’m still in struggled town and still haven’t managed to get it to work. I’m a bit confused by this part “extra setting called ‘parent_layout’ containing the string layout key” in particular the string layout key

here is the full output of flexible content. i guess i just cant do what i wanted as i have tried specifying the parent as ‘subfields’ i also tried ‘field_subfields’ and neither worked. Its a real shame that we can import simple single fields into other simple field structures but cant do the same with flexible content.
the reason i am trying to do this is I want to manage and reuse parts of flexible content arrays more effectively. Are there any other methods you would suggest?
Array ( [ID] => 0 [key] => field_subfields [label] => flexible content [name] => flexible_content [prefix] => [type] => flexible_content [value] => [menu_order] => 0 [instructions] => [required] => 0 [id] => [class] => [conditional_logic] => 0 [parent] => group_56ff5b11d1775 [wrapper] => Array ( [width] => [class] => [id] => ) [_name] => flexible_content [_input] => [_valid] => 1 [button_label] => Add Row [min] => [max] => [layouts] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [key] => subfields [name] => sample_label [label] => sample label [display] => block [sub_fields] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [ID] => 0 [key] => field_to_import [label] => Repeatable image with optional link [name] => repeatable_imgs [prefix] => [type] => repeater [value] => [menu_order] => 0 [instructions] => [required] => 0 [id] => [class] => [conditional_logic] => 0 [parent] => field_subfields [wrapper] => Array ( [width] => [class] => [id] => ) [_name] => repeatable_imgs [_input] => [_valid] => 1 [row_min] => 0 [row_limit] => [layout] => table [button_label] => Add image [parent_layout] => subfields [sub_fields] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [ID] => 0 [key] => field_5237950f6c6e4 [label] => url [name] => img_link_url [prefix] => [type] => text [value] => [menu_order] => 0 [instructions] => leave blank if link is not required [required] => 0 [id] => [class] => [conditional_logic] => 0 [parent] => field_to_import [wrapper] => Array ( [width] => [class] => [id] => ) [_name] => img_link_url [_input] => [_valid] => 1 [formatting] => html [default_value] => [maxlength] => [placeholder] => [prepend] => [append] => [readonly] => 0 [disabled] => 0 ) ) [min] => 0 [max] => 0 ) ) [min] => [max] => ) ) )
