Hi @ewestlund
Thanks for the detail. When you say:
STEP 4 is where things go whacky. When I add a second flexible content field, it only saves the first layout in the correct nested area. It then adds the rest as blank items in the original flexible content field. I attached a picture of what happens in the level 1 flexible content field.
Are you talking about the page edit screen, or the field group edit screen?
Do you have any info that would explain why the popup box shows 2 empty layouts?
Do you have nested flexible content fields that are working? If so, in which layout visible in the popup screenshot?
I think the biggest issue here is that WP and ACF is just not able to save / load that much nested data. Are you able to simplify your fields?
Thanks
E
