I have to agree, while some things are undeniably better with the new UI like the sticky save post bar, some other choices I find rather odd.
When the new UI released I remember reading that the aim was to make it more compact, yet there’s so much padding with the new UI that as soon as you’re 3 levels deep nothing fits on the screen anymore.
I have to admit liked the simplicity of the old ACF UI, everything could be done very quickly from the keyboard without the hassle of having to click through tabs.
Hello,
I’ve just come across the same problem. Changing the database column to ut8mb4 does seem to work, but we shouldn’t have to need to do this and risk messing up all the rest of the content.

There’s a solution here to get it working without needing to update the column format. Would it be possible to implement this directly into acf?
I can’t get this to work. Using it like so in my functions.php file. When I add a print_r($field_group) It appears below the field settings. So I guess it’s being called too late to be taken into account.
add_action('acf/render_field_group_settings', 'my_function', 10, 1);
function my_function( $field_group ) {
$field_group['style'] = 'seemless';
$field_group['menu_order'] = 1;
$field_group['hide_on_screen'] = array('the_content');
return $field_group;
}
