Hi,
the first two tabs are populated with content fine. however, my third tab is blank. I have assigned fields the same way to all three tabs, but the last one doesnt seem to show. What am I missing ?
(It is probably something very dumb 😂)

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out.

Can you please export the not-working field group to a JSON file and share it with me? Following the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-builder/#export--import

Also, do you see any JavaScript errors in the Console tab of the browser inspect tool?

I saw an error with the min/max clones, so i made some edits. Now it flashes before it disappears (still no console errors)

Hello,

I got it. It happens because the field group setting context is set to after_title. To fix the issue, please follow steps below:
- Change the Rule to Post type
- Select Position: After content
- Save the field group
- Reload the page
- Change the Rule to Settings page and select the settings page that you want to show the field group

Let me know how it goes.
