Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Can you please share problem URL where you want to display the repeating field group and share admin access details and tell me what view you created to display the repeating field group.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Lets resolve one by one issue:

1.where we have made repeater field: there it displays notice
hidden link
hidden link
==>
This is true. You can not add repeating field inside the repeating field group as its not supported or you can say it's a limitation.

2. When we edit any post of empleos and add data to the any custom field like name or position and so on that we created using toolset, by default it creates and displays entries of the custom field below

Screenshot :
hidden link

but we found that it does not function in a proper manner for repeater group field, when we add data in the repeater field text it does not show any custom field related to repeater field
==>
It is expected because internally repeating field group is managed as one-to-many relationship that is why its not expected to display the repeating field group fields within the custom field section you mentioned above.

If you can guide me what field you want to display exactly within what section that will help me to guide you in the right direction.
