I am trying to:
Save a post update. When you have the visual editor is active the post content doesn't save. However if you switch to the plain text tab, the post saves just fine.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
hidden link

I expected to see:
Saved post data

Instead, I got:
Nothing

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Our developers are aware of issues that appeared on WYSIWYG editors after WP 5.8. We fixed a bug in Types 3.4.14, but we are still working on some cases. This bug appears for post types that do not activate the Editor option.

As a workaround, please enable the default editor on your post type and let us know if it fixes the issue.

Edit your post type from Toolset => Post types => Edit your post type and enable the Editor.
Check this screenshot hidden link

The workaround fixed the issue thank you. I'll just let the client know to ignore the default editor for that specific post type.
