[solved] Get field from inputfield render hook

[Robin S]

I am hooking an inputfield render() method, and I'm hoping to be able to get the $field object that this inputfield is for. I can see the $field object in Tracy but cannot access that directly in the hook. Is there a trick I'm missing?

More broadly, my objective is to match the inputfield to its field when the inputfield is rendered inside a Repeater. When the inputfield isn't inside a repeater you can easily work out the field because the name attribute of the inputfield is the same as the field name. But when inside a repeater the name attribute has a repeater suffix appended, e.g. "my_field_repeater1125". The integer at the end is a page ID so that can potentially be any length, and I don't want to do something like trim the name from "_repeater" onwards as someone could conceivably use the string "_repeater" in their field name.

Any suggestions?

Right after posting that I started thinking clearly...

$inputfield = $event->object;
$field = $this->fields->get($inputfield->name);
if(!$field) {
    $name = substr($inputfield->name, 0, strpos($inputfield->name, "_repeater"));
    $field = $this->fields->get($name);
}
