Description

### Prerequisites

- [x] I have searched for similar issues in open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
- [x] I have troubleshooted my issue, and it still exists against the latest stable version of Elementor.

### Description

I try to edit a page with ACF fields with user role Editor and I get the error "Updating failed. Sorry, you are not allowed to edit the _elementor_conditions custom field."

I have deactivated the access to editor for the user role Editor.

Also, I am not using Elementor Conditions functionality on any page or template on this website.

As an Admin, I get no errors and the updating is successful.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Change any ACF field in page as an editor.
2. Push update button

### Expected behavior

The expected behavior is to successfully update page.

### Isolating the problem

- [ ] This bug happens when only the Elementor (and Elementor Pro) plugins are active.
- [x] This bug happens with the Hello Elementor theme active.
- [x] I can reproduce this bug consistently by following the steps I described above.
