for ACF Repeater (metadata) array values need this format:
{
“key”: “badges”,
“value”: [
a",
“b”
]
},
I tried inside a “update a product” - metadata:
{{add(emptyarray; “a”; “b”; )}}
But I get output like this:
"id": 667987,
"key": "badges",
"value": "a, b"
},
Then it doesn’t update the field on the product page.
Welcome to the Make community!
To do this, you can try using the JSON “Parse JSON” module.
e.g.:
Then you can map the array of metadata with an array in the value.

For more information, see https://www.make.com/en/integrations/json, and https://www.make.com/en/help/app/json in the help centre.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
