I expected to see: New Fields Created to be used.
Instead, I got: A large bulk of our custom fields are deleted. I'm able to add them back by exporting our types fields from our production site but im not able to create new fields without potentially deleting a bulk of existing fields.
One of the team will get to this as soon as possible, but in the meantime can you clarify the problem.
Are you saying that the settings for custom fields are lost when you add new custom fields to some group (or create a new group and add fields to it), or are you saying that the data itself is lost? That the custom fields are still assigned to a field group belonging to some post type, but when you edit posts the values of the fields have been lost?
What are the specific steps to see the issue?
In any case, we'll almost certainly need a copy of your site to see what is happening, if you could please prepare a package as described in the documentation which you can share via dropbox or similar here.
To be precise, yes. When creating a new custom field and saving it, a large amount of previously created custom fields would be deleted. All of the custom fields belong to a specifc post type, and adding a new custom field to that post type would cause a bulk of those fields to be lost.
In addition to that:
Could you please increase value of php.ini setting for "max_input_vars" to 5000 and try to resolve your issue.
