Hi, using ACF 4.4.0 I’ve found a problem when saving a new field group without specifying the title.

The flow is:
– click add new field group
– add all custom field needed
– click on publish
– alert “Field group title is required”
– added the title
– the publish button is not clickable
– redo all work from the first step

The solution I’ve used is simply to remove the class “disabled” from the button via js, here is the diff:

--- a/src/core/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/js/field-group.js
+++ b/src/core/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/js/field-group.js
@@ -135,14 +135,19 @@ var acf = {
        *  @return      N/A
        */

-       $(document).on('submit', '#post', function(){
+       $(document).on('submit', '#post', function(event){

                // validate post title
                var title = $('#titlewrap #title');

                if( !title.val() )
                {
+                       event.preventDefault();
+
                        alert( acf.l10n.title );
+
+                       $('#publish').removeClass('disabled');
+                       $('#publishing-action .spinner').hide();

                        title.focus();

Hi @giacomozinetti,

Thanks for posting the fix on this one.

This issue should be resolved in the latest version 🙂
