save_post() works fine in 4.1.8, and doesn’t create any errors. Here’s XDebug Context for ACF 4.1.8 , breakpoint at $f = apply_filters('acf/load_field', false, $k ); in acf.php:save_post( $post_id )

Inside the loop, 1st iteration (single date and time picker field):

$f = array[18]
	$f['name'] = (string) dato
	$f['class'] = (string) date_time_picker
	$f['time_format'] = (string) H:mm
	$f['field_group'] = (int) 6583
	$f['conditional_logic'] = array[3]
		$f['conditional_logic']['allorany'] = (string) all
		$f['conditional_logic']['rules'] = array[1]
			$f['conditional_logic']['rules'][0] = array[2]
				$f['conditional_logic']['rules'][0]['operator'] = (string) ==
				$f['conditional_logic']['rules'][0]['field'] = (string) null
		$f['conditional_logic']['status'] = (int) 0
	$f['show_week_number'] = (string) false
	$f['value'] = <string>
	$f['required'] = (int) 0
	$f['type'] = (string) date_time_picker
	$f['id'] = (string) acf-field-dato
	$f['key'] = (string) field_51d520b7091da
	$f['label'] = (string) dato
	$f['picker'] = (string) slider
	$f['show_date'] = (string) true
	$f['order_no'] = (int) 0
	$f['instructions'] = <string>
	$f['save_as_timestamp'] = (string) true
	$f['date_format'] = (string) m/d/y
$v = (string) 7/11/13 7:00
$post_id = (int) 6640
$k = (string) field_51d520b7091da
$this = Acf[1]
	$this->settings = array[5]
		$this->settings['path'] = (string) /Users/per/Sites/dev.local/wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/

		$this->settings['hook'] = (string) advanced-custom-fields/acf.php
		$this->settings['version'] = (string) 4.1.8

Second iteration, date and timepicker field inside a repeater field

$f = array[16]
	$f['name'] = (string) repeat
	$f['class'] = (string) repeater
	$f['field_group'] = (int) 6583
	$f['conditional_logic'] = array[3]

		$f['conditional_logic']['status'] = (int) 0
	$f['layout'] = (string) table
	$f['row_min'] = (int) 0
	$f['button_label'] = (string) Add Row
	$f['sub_fields'] = array[1]
		$f['sub_fields'][0] = array[18]
			$f['sub_fields'][0]['label'] = (string) dato2
			$f['sub_fields'][0]['name'] = (string) dato2

$v = array[2]
	$v['acfcloneindex'] = array[1]
		$v['acfcloneindex']['field_51da7b24dbf9a'] = <string>
	$v[1373458984969] = array[1]
		$v[1373458984969]['field_51da7b24dbf9a'] = (string) 7/12/13 12:00 am
$post_id = (int) 6640
$k = (string) field_51da7b12dbf99
$this = Acf[1]

		$this->settings['version'] = (string) 4.1.8

But I guess this is not really the issue. As said previously, the content exist in post meta but it’s not displayed/populated to the custom field.

When I open a post, where (in ACF) is data read from post meta (ie, where should I set my breakpoints)?
