Query Frustration - with (Clonable) Metabox Group Subfields

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have any pointers on how I can query subfields from a metabox clonable group. I think it is the serialised way that these fields are saved separately that causes the problems, but i can’t see a clear solution…

So i have tried this code to flatten the fields together and could get only a single value (out of 3!!) when i “order by”, “meta value” (frame_spec_flat) - the name of my subfield…
Adding a “Meta query” with compare as LIKE, IN with a value of ‘ ‘ also produced no results.

I am not sure if the best corse of action is to use a mb custom table, persist with trying to create custom query parameters, or maybe create a custom dynamic data tag….

Need some community wisdom, as I feel i’ve fallen down a giant rabbit hole!!!

Not sure exactly what your doing here, but I think I remember having trouble with the LIKE comparison operator before. Have you tried IN?
