Toolset Types - Repeater field group...how?

How To
1

WP 6.1.3
Bricks 1.8.3 + child theme
Toolset Types 3.4.19

I’ve looked across the forums, and didn’t find any relevant info. the ACF and Metabox repeater posts also don’t seem to lead me correctly.

I’m not positive whether or not I’m doing something wrong, or if this is a bug related to my previous report, which was fixed in 1.8.2. I have a custom fields group (screencast fields) assigned to a custom post type (screencasts), and within that group there is a repeatable group (timestamps) with two text custom fields (timestamp, timestamp-title).

I am trying to set up a query loop where each of those repeater field entries will display in a basic text element. I have a parent block with two child divs. Within each div is the basic text element. I’ve set up a query for the parent block to get the post type (screencasts). I’ve assigned what I believe is the correct style of dynamic data tag {cf_wpcf-timestamp} to the text layer (via the lightning bolt dynamic data dropdown), but nothing happens in the editor and the frontend displays an empty div. What is odd is that I’ve seen other Toolset custom fields use a ts_ prefix instead of cf_wpcf or wpcf so I’m not positive why or when there is a difference. If I try either of the other two formats, it just stays as the text rather than disappearing, so that would lead me to believe that something is happening, as far as Bricks parsing the dynamic data tag, but it’s just returning empty.

So, am I doing something wrong, or are fields within Toolset repeater groups not returning data at the moment? Do I need to set up query loops within my parent query loop? Is there a filter that I need to apply the the dynamic data tags?

Not much help on toolset I’m afraid. But a simple check would be to open the database (phpmyadmin?) and check the name of the custom field.

ACF saves them as the exact name (e.g. ACF= my_c_field // in get_meta() it can be fetched with my_c_field // in bricks {cf_my_c_field} )

So if in toolset it’s called wpcf-timestamp - is it also called that in the database? or is the prefix part of toolset? Maybe in the database it’s just called timestamp - and can be fetched with cf_timestamp? Worth a look.

The post meta in the database is in the format wpcf-timestamp.
