This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I am unable to edit a post and I see an error "Missing or invalid field data"
Solution: In this case, a required field in one of the collapsed field groups was empty. That field must be filled in to edit the post successfully.

Editing a post in Gutenberg visual block editor.
Post contains Toolset conditional blocks, field and text block, form block.
When I click "Update" button to save changes, I get the following error at the top of the editor with a red background:
"Missing or invalid field data."
So I am unable to save any changes to my post.
BUT if I deactivate the Toolset Types plugin, I am able to update my post with no problem. Of course this deactivates my Toolset information so errors appear to user on the front end.
If you cannot solve with this information, let me know and I will provide access. Thank you!
It looks like there is a required field in the Players-Field-Group field (screenshot attached). It is called "player-first-name" and it must be filled out because the field is marked "required" in field settings. After I add some text in the player first name field, the post can be published successfully. See my update here: hidden link
What concerns me is that the field group was not set to be displayed on the Post post type, so I'm not sure why this field group appeared in the standard Post editor. I changed the settings for the field group to be displayed when ALL conditions are met instead of ANY, and now the field group does not appear in the standard Post editor any longer. It's odd...it seems like ANY would work just like ALL here because there is only one condition. Maybe there was some caching at play, but regardless, it seems to be working better now. Can you confirm?
