Layout of the custom fields and descriptions are messed up due to new setting for wpt-form-item.
See screenshot.

I had to add an admin stylesheet to remove the 'flex' setting for .wpt-form-item.

Hi there

We've already had a similar report and identified the same cause, it looks like an unintended side effect of a change introduced elsewhere.

I'll escalate this to the same internal ticket, we should hopefully have a fix for it before too long and I'll keep you posted.

Thanks.

Let me put the workaround here for others to use for the meantime.

1. Create an admin.css and enqueue it in functions.php
function admin_style() {
wp_enqueue_style('admin-styles', get_template_directory_uri().'/admin.css');
}
add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', 'admin_style');

2. Add this to the admin.css:

body .wpt-form-item {
display: block !important;
}
