Data entered within a repeater is not viewableeditable via the Entries interface

    If you open an individual entry submitted via a form using repeaters for viewing (Forms > Entries in the WP backend), any data entered in fields in that form that are within a repeater is omitted — the field label is displayed, but not the data.

    If you then open the entry for editing, there’s no fields in the edit interface for adding the data there either, just a blank space. So there’s no way for an admin to manually add/edit any information in an entry that was submitted within a repeater.

    Hey Jason, this wouldn’t happen to be happening on a multipage form would it? There is a known bug with the current version of the plugin and multipage forms that is fixed in the beta version of the next release.

    Yep, it’s a multipage form. I haven’t tested to see if the problem also exists on single-page forms though.

    This was a known bug in version 1.0.9 of the repeater plugin and has been fixed in the latest development version. Find out how to get the development version here: https://github.com/kodie/gravityforms-repeater#development

    I did a manual update to the development version, and did some testing (on multi-page forms) with it. I found that the dev version does fix the problem for entries that are submitted after it was installed, but old entries (i.e., entries that were submitted while the release version of the plugin was running) still don’t allow viewing/editing of field data for fields in repeaters.

    Is that something that’s coming in future, or was there some breaking change required in the way the plugin stories entry data that means that previously submitted entries can’t be fixed?

    Hey Jason, unfortunately with that bug, it actually didn’t store any data other than how many times the repeater was repeated. I’m extremely sorry for the inconvenience.
