Yes, agree. Just hoping for a definitive / safe way to clean up the duplicates at this point, i.e. which of those duplicates are safe to delete.
OK I wasn’t able to reproduce that on Safari/mac doing the same thing on a test install, (it did not prompt for a database upgrade again though I didn’t deactivate ACF 4 plugins while updating to 5.0.4 so maybe order of deactivation does not matter). I was doing it before with Chrome/Win7
In any case, when I deactivate ACF 5 Pro and reactivate ACF 4, and then go back to ACF 5 Pro, I get prompted to upgrade the database again, and each time I perform the upgrade I get another copy of the field groups.
Any thoughts appreciated. I’m thinking if I cannot rollback the database I can just delete the new duplicate fields (the ones with higher post ID) since I have not resaved any post/page that uses them.
Yes, I meant field name, not field label. “Content” is a text field within a Layout. Below is the link to the steps (PDF)
ACF 4.3.0, Flexible Content Field Version 1.1.0

Thanks. The temporary fix works fine for me for now. The Flexible Content is one instance where I like to change Add Row to something else since these are usually not table rows in my use. Maybe the default can be Add Item in the future. Wonderful add-on.
Quick follow up question – how do I get a list of field group ID’s given a post ID?
