Hi @hube2,

Thank you very much for the information, especially the one in point 2).
I hadn’t noticed this behavior, and knowing this solves my performance issue, because as I said most of the fields in my repeater will be hidden by conditional logic.

However, this created another issue, because I had planned to hide many fields with a true/false button. Only when the user needs it would he click on the button, check/edit the fields that are needed then click again to hide the fields. If he does that, the changes won’t be saved.

Possible solution :
When the button is clicked to FALSE, first update the post then update the button value to false. I suppose it’s possible, but if you already faced this problem, if you have a better idea, don’t hesitate to tell me.

@raygulick thank you, but in my case the repeater won’t have many entries (2 to 6 in most cases). The problem it that each row of the repeater has a lot of fields.
