[Resolved] Using repeating groups to create slider – potential bug?

I'm using the beta version of Types and Views because I wanted to use the new Repeating Groups option. (I apologise if there's a separate section of the support forum for beta versions)

I've discovered what I think might be a bug.

I've created a Repeatable Group to a set of Post Fields I'm using on a Custom Post Type (Training Courses). This group is for testimonials and contains the following fields:
Quote (multiple lines)
Name (single line)
Company (single line)
Company URL (URL)

Then I've created a view to display this repeatable group as a slider, which I've then inserted into a content template, which you can see in action here: hidden link

The first quote - from Elevate Credit - contains a URL. The first time it loads in the slider, the URL is correct, but the second time it loads - when the slider comes back around - the link has changed to the URL of the page the user is on.

This is the code I'm using in the testimonial slider view:

<div class="testimonial-area">
<div class="quote">
<svg aria-hidden="true" data-prefix="fas" data-icon="quote-left" role="img" xmlns="hidden link" viewBox="0 0 512 512" class="svg-inline--fa fa-quote-left fa-w-16 fa-lg"></svg>
[types field="quote-text"][/types]
<svg aria-hidden="true" data-prefix="fas" data-icon="quote-right" role="img" xmlns="hidden link" viewBox="0 0 512 512" class="svg-inline--fa fa-quote-right fa-w-16 fa-lg"></svg>
</div>
[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-name) ne '' )"]<span class="name">[types field="name"][/types]</span>[/wpv-conditional][wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-company) ne '' )"]<span class="company"> - [wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-company-link) ne '' )"] [/wpv-conditional][types field="company"][/types][wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-company-link) ne '' )"][/wpv-conditional]</span>[/wpv-conditional]
</div>

Many thanks

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - Yes, I confirm that I can see the wrong link when it slides but I need to check on your install whats going wrong there.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I would additionally need your permission to de- and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important. If you agree to this, please use the form fields I have enabled below to provide temporary access details (wp-admin and FTP).

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Ok fine - thank you. I checked on your install and strange thing is that even I do not able to see the already added content for your repeating field group when I edit any post.

I just see this button and when I click on it - I do not see anything. It should allow me to add new repeating field item.
=> hidden link

Before we take next step:
Could you please try to resolve your issue by deactivating all third-party plugins as well as the default theme to check for any possible conflicts with any of the plugins or themes and check if you able to add/edit existing repeating field item while editing your specific post.

If you do not see any difference - I need copy of your site:

Ohh - the file size is too big to download its around 2.5 GB and I will not be able to download it.

When you make duplicator package - you should not invlude images - does this help you to create duplicator package OR please find a way to send me smaller size duplicator.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.
