When you put a page field inside a repeater...............

[adam1002]

When you put a page field inside a repeater, the $page variable that field gets is the page you’re editing. Not the repeater page the field actually belongs to. Put another way, the $page variable will be the same as $repeateritem->getForPage(). What you want, however, is $repeateritem itself. Honestly, I doubt this is possible out of the box.

Like you said, if you used “real” pages in a PageTable field, you would edit those pages in a modal window. I. e. the $page variable supplied to the page field’s custom select code would be the current PageTable item.

I don’t want to be the guy who misses the point and answers “why don’t you just do something else”, but PageTables are so much cooler than repeaters anyway. Any specific problems that stop you from using those?
