The field group you posted doesn’t seem to match the image you linked to.
Try updating to 5.3.2 and see if you’re still seeing this error.
I’ll try to update.

Can you attache that field group instead on putting it into the editor? You may need to put it in a .zip file. If you do that and you’re still having a problem, if you attach it I can give it a quick test and see if it’s causing an error for me.
