Hi. I'm trying to figure out how to load data dynamically into a repeater area. I'm loading JSON data from a curl request that I want in input fields so someone can update values and save them again.
​
I have the keys working where my labels for First Name will be "billingAddress First Name" and "shippingAddress First Name" by using "{var:area_repeater5.key} First Name". Normally, to load values I would probably use {vars:getBillingAddressFirstName} or {data:addresses.billingAddress.FirstName}, but I don't know if there is a way to {var:area_repeater5.key} inside of my {data:} reference. Addresses are my simple case where there are only two, but another part of the json could contain an array of 1-100 sets of data (usually less than 20).
​
I have the following already:

    [getAddresses] => Array
        (
            [returned] => Array
                (
                    [billingAddress] => Array
                        (
                            [FirstName] => MyFirstName
                            [LastName] => MyLastName
                            [Address1] => 555 Somewhere Drive
                            [Address2] => 
                            [city] => Somewhere
                            [CompanyName] => My Company 02
                            [PhoneNumber] => (555) 555-5555
                            [postalCode] => 55555
                            [state] => PA
                            [country] => US
                        )

                    [shippingAddress] => Array
                        (
                            [FirstName] => MyFirstName
                            [LastName] => MyLastName

Hi Randy,
​
You can use a PHP function before the "Display section" to alter the data received by curl and set it into a new variale which you can use as the data provider for the repeater.
​
Best regards

Hi Max,
​
I have all of the data already. Where I am kind of stuck is even if I have the data provider of the repeater area set to {data:addresses}, I don't know how to get the values in the text fields. I have just updated to make sure that I'm on the latest version.
​
My setup is:
[Page1]
|-->text field (variable used with curl to get values
​
[Page2]
|--fieldset area
|--> repeater area
|--> text field
​
For my actions, basically on my first page submit, I get make my curl request and process the response. I do multipage actions everywhere and I use the addresses on the second page, so I have it before that display action.
​
I actually have almost exclusively been using php because not sure how to use the curl action properly.
