Custom Fields do not save when creating a new page

I have a custom field group that conditionally appears for pages that use a specific template. I do the following:

1. Create a new page.
2. Set the title.
3. Set the template to the one set for the custom field group
4. Set the value of one of the fields in the field group after it appears.
5. Publish the page.

If I then refresh the editor page or view the published page, the value set in the field has not been saved.

I dug into this a bit and discovered that WordPress caches the added metaboxes on initial page load and does not check again when publishing. So, if there were no metaboxes when first creating the page, it will not attempt to save any metaboxes when publishing. ACF appears to do the correct thing and register the metaboxes when the conditions are met, but a bug in WordPress (which they may or may not want to fix) does not detect the newly added metaboxes.

To work around this for right now, I basically duplicated the code from WordPress and updated it to check if there are metaboxes every time it detects a save was just requested:

(function (
    external_wp_data_,
    external_wp_editor_
) {
/*

ORIGINAL:
  let wasSavingPost = yield external_wp_data_["controls"].select(external_wp_editor_["store"], 'isSavingPost');
  let wasAutosavingPost = yield external_wp_data_["controls"].select(external_wp_editor_["store"], 'isAutosavingPost');
  const hasMetaBoxes = yield external_wp_data_["controls"].select(store, 'hasMetaBoxes'); // Save metaboxes when performing a full save on the post.
NEW:
*/
  let wasSavingPost = Object(external_wp_data_["select"])(external_wp_editor_["store"]).isSavingPost();
  let wasAutosavingPost = Object(external_wp_data_["select"])(external_wp_editor_["store"]).isAutosavingPost();
/* CUSTOMIZATION: END */

  Object(external_wp_data_["subscribe"])(() => {
    const isSavingPost = Object(external_wp_data_["select"])(external_wp_editor_["store"]).isSavingPost();
    const isAutosavingPost = Object(external_wp_data_["select"])(external_wp_editor_["store"]).isAutosavingPost(); // Save metaboxes on save completion, except for autosaves that are not a post preview.
    //
    // Meta boxes are initialized once at page load. It is not necessary to
    // account for updates on each state change.
    //
    // See: https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/5.1.1/wp-admin/includes/post.php#L2307-L2309

    const shouldTriggerMetaboxesSave = hasMetaBoxes && wasSavingPost && !isSavingPost && !wasAutosavingPost; // Save current state for next inspection.

    const shouldTriggerMetaboxesSave = (
      wasSavingPost
        &&
      !isSavingPost
        &&
      !wasAutosavingPost
        &&
      Object(external_wp_data_["select"])(wp.editPost["store"]).hasMetaBoxes()
    );
/* CUSTOMIZATION: END */

    wasSavingPost = isSavingPost;
    wasAutosavingPost = isAutosavingPost;

    if (shouldTriggerMetaboxesSave) {
      Object(external_wp_data_["dispatch"])(wp.editPost["store"]).requestMetaBoxUpdates();
    }
  });
})(
    window.wp.data,
    window.wp.editor
);

Reproduce el flujo de trabajo de campos personalizados condicionales descrito en el issue y, a continuación, empieza comparando el comportamiento de guardado de la metabox con las líneas 2307-2309 de wp-admin/includes/post.php de WordPress. Usa la solución alternativa proporcionada en JavaScript como caso de referencia y verifica que un campo que aparece después de la carga inicial de la página se guarda cuando se publica la página.
