I updated to the latest version of WP Types this morning and made no further changes however my authors have lost access to edit Custom Fields. I have no idea why this has happened as I can see the fields when logged in as Administrator.

They had access before I updated the plugin. It disappeared immediately after.

The Access role assigned to them (example user Pam Arnott) is "Patient Experience" and they are editing the Custom Post Type "Patient Leaflets" which should have the "Patient Leaflet Information" custom fields showing on it and did until today.

I have provided login information and consent to you logging in to look.

Hello @Bonnie, welcome to the Toolset support Forum!

Some users reported a similar issue today, I'm checking to see if this is a known issue, and we'll send you feedback soon.

For now, please use a previous version available here: https://toolset.com/download/toolset-access/#changelog

All the best,
Diego
