Hey folks
hope you can help med with this one as I cant seem to figure out why this is happening.
The problem is that text field or text area that are required are validated when saving a draft. That shouldnt happen and indeed it doesnt happen if it is on a post – only when the fields are on a custom post type.
Is that a bug or by design?
From my experience this is always how ACF has worked.
Hey John
I wrote to ACF support about it and they will look at it as a bug.
I could understand if the validation worked like this every time and on both post, pages and CPT. But the error only occurs on CPT.
