ACF Block Validation Broke in 6.0

[BenFremer]

I put together a tested patch and submitted a pull request here -- #751 . I work on a big site, and if you could let me know when the block validation functionality is expected to be repaired and pushed into a public release, that'd be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hey Ben,

We'll need some more information here on how to reproduce and debug this issue and where you're seeing the error. We've not seen any other reports of it.

Could you also let us know the issue only affects 6.0.4, or if 6.0.3 and earlier has the same issue for you?

@lgladdy many other people have been reporting like the same issue here -- #113 (comment) -- so it doesn't seem to be a "just us" issue. I think we are up to like 6.12 now.

For me too this problem has been a pain in the face.
I share my solution unrelated to direct plugin editing, but as a 'patch' within the theme.
Maybe it can be useful to someone

add_action( 'acf/validate_save_post', 'validate_acf_blocks', 5 );
function validate_acf_blocks() {
   $validate_block_fields = array();
   foreach ( $_POST as $key => $value ) {
     if ( 'acf-' === substr( $key, 0, 4 ) ) {
       $validate_block_fields[$key] = $value;
     }
   }

   if (sizeof($validate_block_fields) == 0) { return; }

   foreach ( $validate_block_fields as $key => $value ) {
     acf_validate_values( $value, $key );
   }
}

thanks again @BenFremer

Ciao!
