[repeater] inside [related] not working

    I have a custom post-type called “Schools” featuring an ACF relation field called “acf_people”.

    The “acf_teachers” field is designed to link to another custom post-types called “Teachers”.

    Each “Teacher” post-type has an ACF repeater field called “acf_books”.

    I want to display all books from each teacher for every school. I proceed as follows:

    [loop type=schools]

School: [field title]

 [related acf_teachers]
  
   Teacher name: [field title]
   Favourite books:  
 
   [repeater acf_books]
    [field acf_bookname] ([field acf_bookyear])
   [/repeater]
  
 [/related]

[/loop]

    This code doesn’t work. I did some tests and it seems that the [repeater] doesn’t work inside a [related].

    Before I go for a very convoluted alternative approach, am I missing something?

    Thank you

    You need to split that:

    1. Loop your schools and create a list with the teachers id from the related field.
    2. End the loop
    3. Pass the ID_LIST just created
    4. Loop teachers with the id={ID_LIST} and run your repeater

    This was the convolution I was hoping to avoid. But ok, I can do that.

    Thank you!

    (once again, I had to figure out a way to remove the last comma from the composed list)

    Build your list like this:

    [if myvar]
 [set myvar][get myvar], WHATEVER[/set]
[else]
 [set myvar]WHATEVER[/set]
[/set]
