Hi Larry

If you can bear with us this will be fixed in the next version which we're expecting to release next week.

We are splitting out gallery and slider blocks from the current repeating field block, and the options will look slightly different with the new gallery block (see screenshot).

You'll have more control over the captions, and be able to choose from static text, a dynamic source (e.g. post title), or the values from the media library.

You can see that in the currently available betas, except the final option isn't working correctly in the betas, but it will in the final release.

I will wait until the next version is in production and see if it works. Looks promising. Short of the new code, is there any other way to do this (Captions in repeating photo fields?)

Thanks =-- Client eagerly awaiting.

The captions are a feature of the new Gallery block, short of using a different or custom solution there isn't a fix I can offer.

But the Views/Blocks update with the Gallery block should happen soon, no later than the middle of this week.
