Hi Anh Tran,
First at all, congrats for your wonderful job with these plugin suite.
I have purchased the group extension to add multiple dates on en an event custom post.
But after studying the data stored in the database, i notice that meta values are stored in a single object row for each post.
So my question is how to search by a specific meta value in the front end (ie search post with a specific event date). I don't think there a wp_query solution.
Is there an option to store the cloned meta values in multiple rows ?
Many thanks

Due to code architecture, the values of clone field is always saved as a single row in the database. Saving values in multiple rows make users confused with fields having multiple attribute. I wrote a documentation about this here.

I think there's no ways to query posts directly based on the value of cloned field. Maybe get all posts and filter them via post meta?
