My understanding on the new field group is that the data will be stored as meta data. I would like to confirm that such is the same as the existing repeated field feature where the data is not filterable?

For instance in CPT "house", having "rooms" as a repeated groups. I would not be able to create a view to query and filter certain fields in the "rooms" group (say kidroom, lounge)? Hence i would not be able to show all the "houses" that has a lounge, for instance.

Hello,

The "repeated field groups" feature of Types plugin is based on custom post type, it is similar as one-to-many relationship, so if your view is querying the posts of post type "house", you can not filter the results by custom fields of "rooms", you can only filter by the fields/taxonomy of post type "house".

As a workaround, you can setup a view to query the repeated groups "rooms", filter by the certain fields in the "rooms" group, and display the related "house" post information.
