Description

Hello everyone,

I got a weird bug, the type of the first field of my group change back to text when I click on it.

Here are the steps to reproduce :

  • Create a new group fields
  • Create a field of type 'Select'
  • Save the group
  • Open the newly created field to edit it -> the field type changed back to Text..

Does anybody else got the same bug ?

Thanks

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Advanced Custom Fields by creating a group with a Select field, saving it, and reopening the first field. Trace the field-type persistence through the group editor; done means the first field still shows Select rather than changing to Text after reopening.
