Advanced Custom Fields

The block editor has device previews (Desktop, Tablet and Mobile). Currently there is no way to detect the device type in ACF blocks. This will be handy to reinit block assets e.g. slider library js so they work correctly across all previews. There is the core function select('core/editor').getDeviceType() available, though ACF currently does not work with it.

It would be great if you could include some function into ACF for checking automatically if the max_input_vars is enough to save the actual changement of a fieldgroup. And in the case it finds it too low, to reject saving to avoid deleting existing data.

Instead of storing field data in the post meta table, store the field values in a custom database table. This reduced performance issues and makes the data easier to query.

Please add a Gutenberg (Block Editor) field type (similar to the WYSIWYG field type).

The feature request I would like you to consider implementing is for me to be able to set those field lengths on the back end with either a universal selection for a field group by setting all fields to 100% width for mobile within a viewport size range or to be able to adjust the field width individually for responsiveness. This especially for mobile viewports. Though not a solution for all ACF Pro users, but maybe having an added plugin or a feature that can be turned on in the pro version of your plugin is to be able to do this within different page builders. I currently use Elementor pro as my page builder and I know many people who use Elementor pro also have ACF or ACF pro as a plugin they use to help create custom post types. Having something specific to help people who are weak at coding, but would like to be able to make their forms look better and be easier to fill in would love an added feature like that either connected with there page builder or something they just have to edit in either their field group or to individual fields. You could make it so you could enter the viewport dimensions and then the field width at those dimensions. You could also make it so you can add another set of dimensions with an "add dimensions" button for either a field group or for an individual field.

Currently there is no way to attach a custom taxonomy to the users natively in ACF. Would love to see this feature getting added to ACF.

What I'm suggesting is to follow standard WP design as other parts of the system do and use this red circle counter on the main menu. Whenever there are unsynced field groups a count of them would appear in such a circle next to the ACF main menu item. It's really important to keep field groups in sync, failing to do so can cause lots of confusion and lost time. This would make it instantly clear to a dev that the site is out of sync with the json files.

I would love to have a grid option available. Flexible Content is nice, but fields currently stack on top of each other. It would be great if there was a column option, allowing you to place multiple elements in a Flexible Content field side by side. Essentially, something like this: https://www.acf-extended.com/features/fields/flexible-content/grid-system But in the core, so that Flexible Content becomes more modern and easier to use.

The current pagination system for managing a large number of rows in Repeater fields is inefficient and introduces usability challenges: Navigating between pages is cumbersome, especially when switching back and forth frequently. Pages with fewer rows sometimes load out of view, disrupting the user experience. Drag-and-drop reordering, previously available, is no longer supported due to pagination. The newly introduced number-based reordering system is unintuitive and prone to errors. Proposed Solution: Replace the pagination system with a "Load More" functionality. This approach would allow additional rows to load dynamically below the already visible rows, improving navigation and usability. Benefits include: Enhanced User Experience: Users can view and interact with all rows on a single page without disruption. Reintroduction of Drag-and-Drop: Removing pagination enables the return of the intuitive drag-and-drop interface for reordering rows. Improved Workflow Efficiency: Eliminates confusion caused by the number-based reordering method. This change would streamline workflows for users managing extensive datasets in Repeater fields while maintaining performance and usability.

A way to copy one flexible content from one page to another? So like the duplicate button, but then duplicate it to another page.
