Hi, i’m trying to duplicate an event, and get the data from ACF fields duplicated. I found some topics on this, which works great. My problem is, that repeater fields does not get duplicated. Can someone help me solve this?

I have used this: https://eventespresso.com/topic/hooking-into-the-private-function-_duplicate_event/

To generate this code: https://pastebin.com/3AeqpczK

How can i get the info from repeaterfields duplicated?

Hi there

ACF repeater fields are stored differently, so you can’t just pull the value and then update it on the new event like you are currently.

You can try something like this:

//Set the repeater field name here.
$field_name = 'testing_repeater';

//Pull the field object as you need the key for update_field()
$field = get_field_object($field_name, $orig_event->ID());
$field_key = $field['key'];

//Pull all of the reater values from the original event
$rows = get_field($field_name, $orig_event->ID());

//'Update' the repeater field on the new event.
update_field($field_key, $rows, $new_event->ID());

If that doesn’t work you’ll need to contact ACF to see how you need to pull the values and update a new post.
