[Resolved] Unable to add pictures in repeating fields

I created a custom field group, called "Gallery" and I assigned it to Page post type.

I added a repeating filed, called "Gallery Element" with two fields: a plain text one called "Title" and a picture one called "Picture". Both fields are required.

When I add Gallery Elements to the group and I select the picture through the media picker, only the first Gallery Element -> Picture field is updated, even if I am trying to add or edit the Picture field on a different Gallery Element.

If I save the post, and thus the page reloads, I can add a new repeating field, if I add a second one, then it shows the bug.

I managed to reproduce the issue on 3 sites, two of them using Type 3.2.7 and one using 3.2.5.

Yes, I saw that shortly after I posted the this ticket.

Still, the proposed workaround is all but optimal and the bug has propagated to multiple sites, some of which are updated directly by my clients.

I don't want to put unnecessary pressure on the dev team, but I have to solicit a proper fix.

Thank you for your support.

I just got the news that the fix will be shipped with next release of Types version 3.3 that is scheduled to set to release in a couple of weeks from now.

I'll keep you posted once we published Types 3.3 officially.

Will the new version be released earlier in beta?
