Hi Elliot,
I had a go at the latest ACF. Results are mixed: checkboxes do now work, and previous information (stored with previous version of ACF) is retained between multi-select and the checkboxes. However – and this is possibly because I am using the taxonomy with images / attachments and not with posts (I didn’t test it with posts), this occurs: all the fields and their values are listed with no elaborate formatting, and then underneath they are listed again properly formatted with tabbing. Only changes made to the checkboxes in the second listing are retained on clicking ‘update’. I reverted back to the previous ACF and all is working – though only if using multi-select, as before.
Thanks for persisting with this.
Best, Peter
Thanks for the quick response. It occurs when I go into the Media Library and add then edit a new image or edit an existing one. The edit page comes us correctly initially, with the custom fields, but clicking any of the checkboxes causes it to reload and lose the custom fields. I have the fields divided into three tabs, if that makes any difference. Like TimTee above, I’ve switched to a multi-select field as a stopgap, and that works but it’s not as good.
There’s no POPUPs involved, as far as I can see, but I may not be understanding your question.
Thanks, Peter
Sorry, should have added that I’m using ACF v4.2.2.
I’m afraid the problem is still there for me. I’m using a Taxonomy field and checkboxes, and the Field Group is for ‘Attachment is equal to all’. Any time user clicks on any checkbox in the field, the page reloads and the custom fields disappear – just as reported initially above. Love ACF, this issue not so much! Peter
