    I have used the migration option and all appears to have worked but when I go to edit the custom fields the fields flash on for a second and then disappear.

    Hello Andrew,

    Please update Meta Box, MB extensions to the latest version, then deactivate all other plugins, switch to a standard theme of WordPress and migrate the field group again.

    If it does not help, can you please share some screenshots of the issue and export the field group to a JSON file and share it here? I will take a look.

    Please read more on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-builder/#export--import

    Hello,

    I got the issue. There is a field type acfe_post_statuses which comes from a third-party plugin, not a native field type of ACF so there is no corresponding field type in Meta Box to display that field and it breaks the field group.

    I remove this field type from the JSON file and import the field group to my local site and it works correctly.

    You can download the fixed JSON file here https://drive.google.com/file/d/18C6EsnKiWQetmaMpSJFUoPEeILYnd8wH/view?usp=share_link
    and import it to your site.

    That is great many thanks Peter, would I be better off removing this field before I migrate? I still have a copy as the site is still live using ACF as I'm just starting a rebuild.

    Hello,

    Yes, please delete that field from the ACF field group then you can do the migration then.

    Let me know how it goes.
