Dear Bricks support,

I’d like to report an issue:
Managing ACF Flexible content and clone are broken with bricks theme active.

Happen in ACF Pro custom fields edit screen.

This looks exactly the same with issue in this thread: SOLVED: Bricks breaks ACF repeater and clone field
It was happened with repeater. but in my case its happen in flexible content. the
So the bug replication procedure should be similar.

The theme and ACF plugin are latest versions
happen in bricks: 1.9.5 (also happen in 1.9.4)
ACF Pro 6.2.4

I think this bug is dangerous because when you managing ACF fields with bricks theme active, and not aware with this clone anomalies, then fixing those ACF fields will further corrupting the ACF setup.

We would love to fix it if the issue is coming from Bricks.

Hi @itchycode ,

Thanks for checking the issue,

Do you mean when the Bricks theme is activated, additional fields are added?

Yes, When the bricks are activated, the clone fields are incorrectly substituted with subfields to which it refers

I’ve record video to replicate the issue here:

Just need:

  • latest bricks (1.9.5) and ACF pro
  • create ACF field group, eg named ‘hero’
  • create ACF flexible content, and add clone field that point to hero

Here’s the ACF export data like demonstrated in the video

Thank you
