Hello,

I’m using ACF Pro 5.3.2.1 and in a repeater type, the file is no saving:

Looking at the JSON code for this group, the field name of the repeater is empty. The field name cannot be empty.

{
            "key": "field_56437036a09b3",
            "label": "Assets",
            "name": "",  <=== MISSING FIELD NAME
            "type": "repeater",
            "instructions": "Upload downloadable assets",
            "required": 0,
            "conditional_logic": 0,
            "wrapper": {
                "width": "",
                "class": "",
                "id": ""
            },
            "min": "",
            "max": "",
            "layout": "table",
            "button_label": "Add Row",
            "sub_fields": [

Thanks I’ll look into it.
I think the ACF admin needs some improvement, because it shouldn’t allow me to save something that’s guaranteed to not work.

I partly agree. A default name is added when the label field looses focus or the name field gains focus, unless you’re experiencing a javascript error. In order to save a field without a name you must delete it on purpose and then not enter a new one.

I’ll mark this topic for the developer to take a look at.
