Reply To: Multisite Child Theme with same JSON file ID

John, Thanks for your quick reply.

In this case, the parent and child theme field groups do not require further or ongoing editing. I understand how a parent and child theme relationship should work. Like I said I inherited this project so trying to clean things up. I am also finding evidence that the original developer might not have understood how to load all field group properly as their calls to some group options create errors in php 8 when returning null values. Anyway…

Currently the child theme and the parent theme share two files with the same group key. And what happens is that the parent theme json file gets used over the child file.

Would you recommend I rebuild the child fields and just redo all the data entry? or is there another “easier” method. Like, can I recreate a unique group key in the child theme and move forward from there?
