    Is it possible to some how use update_post_meta to add a row for a repeatable field?

    Thanks!

    Unless I’m mistaken, the initial data in the repeatable field meta key/value pair is just an array of arrays.

    $my_group = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'my_group_data', true );
$my_group[] = array( 'item_1' => 'value_1', 'item_2' => 'value_2' );
update_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'my_group_data', $my_group );

    Won’t hurt to do a var_dump or so on your initially fetched meta data to see its structure and match as such.

    Derp @ me regarding the group part, but I have to believe the setup is still going to be the same, an array storing the content for the field. Insert a new index for the field, update. Still won’t hurt to check the structure so you can match appropriately.
