 * Hello,
    I please you for any idea. I have custom post type with ACF repeater 
   with some records for evidence some changes. I am using gutenberg.
 * Every Time I save the post, I want to add new row into this ACF repeater. The
   row is correctly added, but some milliseconds after is this row removed. I try
   to save it in hook post_updated with very low priority (hight order), but the
   problem is the some. I mean the problem is because I added row into repeater,
   which is not refreshed on the client side, so some moments after is repeater 
   returned to old state.
 * If is my reasoning good, it is possible to refresh the ACF box after post is 
   saved? If not, do you have any idea?
 * Thank you so much,
    Martin
