Create the Repeater Meta Field for CPT 

In this case, we create the “Books” CPT to display grouped data. 

After that, we add the Repeater Field and fill in the Label and Name/ID fields (“books_repeater”, in this case). 

Then, we press the “New Repeater Field” button to add the field for completing: the “Author” Text Field, “Cover” Media Field, and “Description” Textarea Field. For the Media Field, set the “Media ID” Value Format.

Things to know

You can add the Repeater Field with the nested fields to a Meta Box to provide the same functionality. These and other meta fields are described in the Custom Field Types Overview tutorial.

When everything is set, click the “Add/Update Post Type” button on the right.

Fill out the CPT Posts

Open the newly created CPT section in the WordPress Dashboard. We are going to fill out the Repeater Field data into every CPT item. Click the “Edit” button under the post.

Display the Dynamic Content via JetTabs Tabs Widgets

Create a single template

Go to the WordPress Dashboard > Crocoblock > Theme Builder tab. Here, create a new single template to be edited in the Elementor Page Builder.

Add the JetTabs widget

Find the Tabs widget in the search bar or any other that supports the Dynamic data addon (Image Accordion and Classic Accordion) and place it on the single page.

Open the widget’s settings and expand the Dynamic Settings tab. After that, activate the Enable dynamic data toggle and specify the Repeater field name as we set it earlier in the Name/ID field of the Repeater meta field (“books_repeater”, in this case).

Insert the meta field’s Name/ID that should be shown in the Image field (“cover”, here) and specify the other IDs if you have added some before. In this case, we insert the Name/ID of these fields (“author” and “description”) into the Title and Description fields.
