Description
Issue
After creating layout sub fields and hit update on the custom field form everything is OK. After a few page updates with this custom fields, the custom fields reset itself. It sets all the the layout sub field to the first layout subfield.
I can temporary solve it by dragging all the layout subfields back to their original position, but after a while it resets again
Cause
This issue happens at random and I wasn't able to reproduce it for this issue, I did manage to take a screenshot after it happened.
