File upload not working on ACF repeater fields

    Hi! We’ve been trying your plugin, it’s great and very usefull for managing content, thank you.

    But we found a problem: file uploading is not working if the file field belongs to a repeater field (I’m talking about ACF pro fields created for a Custom Post Type, “gastos”).

    In our fields group, we have a single file field (at the bottom of the form in the url) which works fine: we select the file from the computer, then we see the loading progress bar and then the name and the size of the file, the ability to delete it or edit, etc.

    Buth we also have some file fields that belong to parent repeater fields. In those cases, when we try to upload the same file, the uploading process is not happening, we don’t see the progress bar and if we try to submit the form, we see an alert saying that field value is mandatory (see the screenshot).

    Is this something that may be solved in the PRO version, or a bug in the free version that you could solve soon?

    Let me know, please, and thank you anyway

    Thank you! Yes, with this version the file repeater field is working ??

    But now I can only see the form if I’m logged-in as an admin user, and we need the form and the uploads to be public ??

    If this behaviour is due to security reasons, can the user role be simply subscriber or contributor? We don’t want these users to have acces to admin area.

    p.d. in our form we have unchecked the WP Media Library toggle in the Permissions tab, because we need the file fields to be a simply upload button (to select files from the computer or phone).

    Thank you very much for your help

    Forgot about my last messages, I was missing something in the form settings:

    In the permissions tab, I had to unfold the default rule “Administrators” and then select “All users” in the “Who can see this” option. Now my form is public, great.

    Sorry and thanks again for the repeater fix!
