Repeater Fields inside Flexible Field (on backend) not visible before first saving/publishing
-
Hi,
first - this is the absolutely most incredible wp-plugin ever. :-) especially the flexible fields combined with repeaters ....
and this is my point. i like it to configure nice and compact inputs to the backend. and there is a problem in a special usecase. i often configure repeater fields with a minimum and maximum rows of 1. i like to show input-options in table layout but without an "Add"-button. the only way i know is to set the rows limit both to 1.
if i create a new post or add such a configuration as part of a flexible field, then there are no input-option. its always necessary to save/publish the post first to get these options visible.
see attached screenshot ...

Hi @dennis
This sounds like a bad bug. So just to confirm,
1. You create a flexible content field
2. You add a repeater field as a sub field and set its min / mac rows to 1
3. Editing a page / post shows the repeater sub field with no button and no rows
I'll look into it
Thanks -
yes.
"no button" is my intention. i use the repeater functionality for a nicer look and feel of the backend-configuration.
"no rows" is the "bug". it seems to be necessary to save a post first and the there are the configured rows. sometimes its necessary to save twice. always when i nest repeater fields inside repeater fields. -
FYI. I can confirm this bug and reported it on Oct 1. Glad to see it on the list of things to be looked at.

Yes, this obviously is the same bug. The biggest problem is the description for the client. i can handle this by myself, but my clients are a little bit confused with it. "oh, this is just a little bug - you have to save once or sometimes twice and then its all fine ..." :-)

I'm experiencing the same issue (using latest version). Glad I found this, thought I was doing it wrong.
Additionally the initial value of my text fields in nested repeaters disappears (on the options page). Bug? -
Thanks guys,
I'll be fixing this in the next version
