I am sorry, we do not support these types of ACF field (I think ACF now calls them Layout fields), the data would have to be in individual fields.

in reality in the post(if you active custom field view) the custom field appears simply chained group + repeater + field name.

for example “nameofgroup_nameofrepeater_fieldnameid” insted of the classic “fieldnameid”

At the moment, we do not have the ability to place the data terms in our cache and thus cannot filter it, I am sorry.

I have referred your question to the plugin developer, Ross, for his input.

thx,

i have make some test, the plugin read single direct field its not important if is repeater or group ecc and it may also be fine in my specific case, for the moment. BUT

(this is the first row of a repeater and contain address information)

if i want select only the postal code and try to select the plugin forces me to select ALL the postal CODE of all posts one at a time. could you enter some system to tell it to select that data and all data equal to that or have the same array key?

Hi Edoardo

Essentially, while we do support grouped fields by accessing them like you said: nameofgroup_fieldnameid we don’t support repeater fields (we are hoping to add this).

I think you only option (I’m not actually sure it would work) is if you created the options yourself (manual entry) and controlled the visible options you want.

The only alternative would be to create the options for the field programmatically –
https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/action-filter-reference/#filter-input-object

But my suspicion is, that the search mechanism doesn’t even work correctly for this data?

I think you won’t be able to progress with this kind of functionality until we make some updates.

Best

what I currently need to get (for now) is to search for the meta post_code within the first row of the repeater. I can select it using groupname_repeatername_numberofrow_fieldname, selecting the manual option I can choose the post_code in the address field I selected.

the problem is that I have to choose it for every single existing post. is there no way or if you can add it, to select that one parameter and automatically the plugin fetches it from all posts?

if I choose the automatic setting it takes me all the meta of the address field, therefore also longitude, latitude and other data that are not of interest. it would be very useful if you could enter something that automatically fetches meta from the field but can choose which parameter. a hybrid between automatic and manual mode. I don’t know if I made myself clear.

PS: the best thing ever would be to fetch that parameter from all repeater rows but already being able to fetch it from a specific row for the moment can go.

and for answer your question yes access directly to the field with complete name though the field is a address field and have a lot of meta inside, all work perfectly.
