Description

Describe the bug

In ACF 6.?.?, ACF used to load unminified assets when SCRIPT_DEBUG was set to true.

Those assets have been removed, making it harder to see what's happening under the hood:

  • bugs can sometimes be on your side and users can even provide valuable feedback, if they are able to debug
  • make developer's life harder

Expected behavior

Please honor SCRIPT_DEBUG and put your unminified assets back 🙏

There's nothing to hide or obfuscate here.

Version Information:

  • WordPress Version 6.6
  • PHP Version 8.2
  • ACF Version 6.3.11 Pro

Research direction

Start with the linked assets/build/js/acf-input.js file and inspect how ACF selects assets when WordPress SCRIPT_DEBUG is true. Trace the related asset-loading or build entry points mentioned by that behavior, then verify that unminified assets are available and selected in debug mode.
