Hi @startupguys

I have a feeling that this issue is related to a character length of the value you are trying to save.

The wp_options table has a character limit of 64 on the options_name column. This means that WP can’t save any data that exceeds this limit. Your nested repeater field is most likely causing the field_name to become too long.

For extra reading, you can read about how the repeater field saves it’s data here:

Your options are to either:
1. Increase the ‘Length’ for the option_name column
2. Change your field names to be shorter

Thanks
