Description
Hey @mattgrshaw
I noticed that when saving a field group without a field after the last ACF update, a text field is automatically added after the field group is saved. There is currently no way to save the field group without a field.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the field group editor: save a field group with no fields and observe whether a text field is added. Trace the save flow responsible for that behavior; done means an empty field group can be saved without automatically adding a text field.
