I was was extremely excited when I read today that I can control the ACF Postobject with the Repeater.  
Problem: If I try to use it I get a critical error on the website.

At the moment I don’t have much information except that the console throws an error 500.

I’ll try to find out more.

Situation:  
Basetemplate Cpt Single → Templateelement for the flexible Content  
Flexible Content Template with a section where the user can select Posts.

Hey Sebastian,

thanks for your report and sorry for the inconvenience.

It would be great to get some more information about the exact setup as it sounds a bit more complicated and I’m having a hard time to follow along. Maybe you can record a small screencast demonstrating the setup? That’d help a lot.

Best,

André
