Set flexible_content setting to my own field (not working anymore since 5.0.8)

Hi,

i’ve made my own field-type based on the flexible_content field. i use acf.add_action(“ready append”…. to append the base drag/drop/sortable functionality of the original flexible_content filed to my my new one.

before ACF 5.0.8 this worked very well. But with ACF 5.0.8 a lot of field settings seem to be changed.

this is my code: (working till 5.0.7)

//COPY ACF FIELD SETTING to my new field type
acf.fields.individole_flexible_fields = acf.fields.flexible_content;
							
acf.add_action("ready append", function( $el ){
    acf.get_fields({ type : "individole_flexible_fields"}, $el).each(function(){
        //THIS WORKED VERY WELL
        acf.fields.individole_flexible_fields.set( $(this) ).init();
        
        //I NOTICED, THAT FUNCTION NAMES HAVE CHANGED, SO I TRIED STUFF LIKE THAT:
	$(this).focus();
        acf.fields.individole_flexible_fields. focus();
        acf.fields.individole_flexible_fields.initialize();
    });
});

Is there a way to get it working again or isnt it possible anymore?

My own field is a modified version of the original flexible_content field. I just was tired of setting up its configuration in the backend. My field class has a “configuration” method, so i can set up the field configuration fast and easy in a configuration file. But basically its a flexible_content field and it should have its functionality.
