I went back and stepped through the documentation here:
https://calculabs.github.io/elementor-acf-repeater-docs/usage-guide/
Not sure how I messed it up the first time but it is working now. I think adding the Loop Item Template before adding the Loop Grid in the page template may have helped. Once it is registered, it can find the repeater fields.
Cheers!

@lou-friedman Awesome, glad you got it working! Yes, loop item first and assigning the repeater field there is the proper method.
Hi @moopi Follow up question:
I decided I wanted my Field Group with the Repeater on a Category page. First of all, is this possible, and if yes, what is the setup? I put the repeater ACF group on a category and I’m using the archive template to display the page.
But I have two issues now: 1. The plugin thinks I have two loops and will not let me select Yes under Query for Use ACF Repeater. Actually, it says Yes, but it is grayed out and acts as if I cannot add another without the Pro version. There’s only one loop grid in this template. 2. The front end display and elementor editor display only the first of the repeater items in a loop – it duplicates, but doesn’t loop through each item.

@moopi You need to reply that you will not log into anyone’s site and that needs to be true.
While I know you have the best of intentions, it’s forum policy that you not ask users for admin or server access. Users on the forums aren’t your customers, they’re your open source collaborators, and requesting that kind of access can put you and them at high risk.
If they are paying customers (such as people who bought a premium service/product from you) then by all means, direct them to your official customer support system. But in all other cases, you need to help them here on the forums.
Thankfully are other ways to get information you need:
You get the idea.
We know volunteer support is not easy, and this guideline can feel needlessly restrictive. It’s actually there to protect you as much as end users. Should their site be hacked or have any issues after you accessed it, you could be held legally liable for damages. In addition, it’s difficult for end users to know the difference between helpful developers and people with malicious intentions. Because of that, we rely on plugin developers and long-standing volunteers (like you) to help us and uphold this particular guideline.
When you help users here and in public, you also help the next person with the same problem. They’ll be able to read the debugging and solution and educate themselves. That’s how we get the next generation of developers.
