    Hi, I need to get for every question radio buttons’ a id, so inside question is all with same id’s.

    Is it possible to get inside repeater layout field [field question_id].
    Or is there some another way’s to get inside repeater a id’s
    I have tried simple $counter++ – but it don’t count as needed so all my questions radio buttons have a same id.

    [flex myflex]
  [layout mylayout]
    <li data-question="<?php do_short('[field question_id]');?>">
	<h3>[field question]</h3>
	[repeater myrepeater]
	   <input class="radio" name='radio-id' type="radio">
           <input class="radio" name='radio-<?php do_short('[field question_id]');?>' type="radio">
        [/repeater]
     </li>
  [/layout]
[/flex]

    The end result need’s to be like this.

    <li class="question" data-question="1">
  <h3>Question 1</h3>
  <input class="radio" name='radio-1' type="radio">
  <input class="radio" name='radio-1' type="radio">
</li>
<li class="question" data-question="2">
  <h3>Question 2</h3>
  <input class="radio" name='radio-2' type="radio">
  <input class="radio" name='radio-2' type="radio">
</li>

    One reason is that PHP is run first, then the shortcodes. You could try:

    <li data-question="[field question_id]">

    ..and so on. Does that work?

    Right now i solved this whit jqyery (changing the name attributes for user in front-end).

    Now i have a unique question_id, and
    unique answers_id.
    And i need to get the question id inside repeater so all name attributes inside repeater is same for this question.

    Problem is question_id don’t work inside repeater. 

    [layout questions]
 <li class="question card" data-question="[field question_id]">
    <h3>[field question]</h3>
        <ul class="answers card-block">
           [repeater answers]
              <li>
                <input name='[field question_id]' data-answer="[field answers_id]" type="radio">
              </li>
           [/repeater]
        </ul>
   </li>
[/layout]

    The result i get in front end is

    <li class="question card" data-question="5728eaf08a02b">
  <h3>Question</h3>
   <ul class="answers card-block">
     <li>
      <input name data-answer="5728e9f2b1bf0" type="radio">
     </li>
     <li>
      <input name data-answer="5728e9f2c7e4f" type="radio">
     </li>
   </ul>
 </li>

    I see – yes, because inside [repeater answers], the [field] shortcode is getting values from the repeater field and not the post itself.

    You can pass the question ID from outside the repeater like this:

    <ul>
  [pass field=id]
    [repeater answers]
      <li>
        <input name='{FIELD}' data-answer="[field answers_id]" type="radio">
      </li>
    [/repeater]
  [/pass]
</ul>
