Description

When I try to save a field group to the local acf-json directory (as described here) it just displays "awaiting save" next to the item but never actually saves the JSON. The directory's read / write permissions are not the problem.

Research direction

Start with the linked Local JSON documentation and the local acf-json directory behavior, then reproduce saving a field group that remains marked “awaiting save.” Trace the save entry point and verify that a valid JSON file is written to the directory instead of leaving the item pending.
