Beta 1: Layout Builder General / Layout Builder ACF Fields

When using the layout builder and trying to add an acf custom field the field just says loading. This is happening on most elements. I tested on image and text elements.

With ACF how would we add repeater fields and galleries?

I have the same issue with user meta and various other fields. If I choose to show the usermeta of the current user the Meta option just shows loading and never actually shows me the available options.

On an image in the layout builder we would need the ability to add an alt text dynamically. i.e. if I have a custom post type called Attorney I would want the alt text to be the attorneys name and I wouldn’t want every single attorney page to have the same alt text.

Confirmed. Something broke there with how the fields are retrieved.

There isn’t a way at the moment to do ACF repeater fields. However, the dynamic data system we built for the Archive builder could be augmented to support this. It’s something we’ll come back to closer to the end of this cycle, or in a subsequent release.
