Pods custom fields not editable when editing a custom post with repeatable WYSIWYG fields #7465

Description

I created a custom post type with custom fields and custom taxonomy. After saving my first custom post I noticed that I was unable to edit the fields after saving the post.

After testing and debugging this in Pods slack too, I tried it on a new wordpress installation with the same pods configuration and was able to reproduce the problem.

TLDR: I can't edit the custom post fields in a custom post type after saving the post, the editable fields don't appear (See picture)

Version

3.3.4

Testing Instructions

  1. Open a new wordpress installation and install pods
  2. Import the pods configuration attached
  3. Import the custom post with wordpress xml importer
  4. Open the custom post and try to edit the fields

pods-package-2025-09-28 (1).json
myblog.WordPress.2025-10-07.xml

Alternatively:

  1. Create a custom post type with custom fields and several repeatable WYSIWYG fields.
  2. Create a custom post and fill the fields with several repeatable WYSIWYG fields
  3. Save the post and open it again for editing
