    I've never made a field that didn't use the Advanced setting "Save field value" ... yet when opening a field group to edit recently, a bunch of custom fields had that box disabled, and the vale wasn't saving. Maybe these were created before that was an option...? I had to open each field (40+) and go to Advanced > Save field value.

    Request/suggestion: a visual indication of non-saving fields would be very helpful. Even a toggle near where the Delete button is could make sense. I don't know if this is a known issue, but just in case it helps. Having a non-saving field is basically like "disabling" the field which shouldn't be so easy to miss. Thanks.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your feedback.

    I will inform our development team to consider supporting an icon to check this option easier.

    I don't know why this keeps happening every time I import certain field groups from other websites of mine...

    But for my future reference, and in case anyone else runs into this issue, here's a little javascript to run in the browser console.

    It opens up the "Advanced" tab of each field, on the Edit Field Group page. 

    jQuery('.og-item__header.og-collapsible__header:not(.og-collapsible--expanded)').trigger('click');
jQuery('.og-item__body.og-collapsible__body .react-tabs__tab-list li:last-child').trigger('click');

    Then I can quickly search if "Save field" is checked...saves a lot of time.
