its great and the code is working fine. but if I want to add 2 Repeater MetaBox it will not work. e.x first repeater contain fields for (TitleItem = name) and (TitleDescription = tel) then add second repeater contain ( TitleItem = gender) and (TitleDescription = Male) , the hole values will saved in both Repeater with same data numbers.

Hi @vinay123456 , Yes this was copied from stackovflow I guess. I used to use this code in many projects frequently. So I created this gist to find this code quickly. Obviously I was making self logic on top of this code.

Thanks for sharing this code block.
