Hi Porter
I’ve found myself puzzling at the exact same experience. While I understand this particular scenario may not actually be a “bug” for ACF to address I am still wondering how you moved forward and handled the situation since what you described (and similarly what I have also built) was catering to a specific need of content building in the WordPress CMS.
Is there a modified approach to this method? Or did you have to totally re-build this section?
Thank you, looking forward to your response if this message is not lost in the wind…
