ACF_form disable save button to prevent duplicate requests / UX improvement

On front-end edit/submission of a form, when you hit save button, the save button can be clicked again while it is loading. When clicked, it actually submits the data twice. So if it’s a submission form, more than 1 post will be created.

How can we disable the save button while it is loading or submitting data?

We have tried
$.click
$.ajaxStart
$.submit
But they don’t work because the form stops being submitted.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks,
Daryll

Hi @darylldelfin

Could you please open a new ticket here: https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/new-ticket? That way this issue can be passed to the plugin author directly.

Thanks 🙂

Did you ever get this figured out? I’m running into the exact same issue.
