I have been making a page builder using ACF Flexible Content and have made around 16 blocks or components, each with around 7 fields. The caveat to this is that the field saves to one JSON file using \`acf/save\_json\` which was fine, however, some recent merge conflicts have got me thinking about the following.
1. Creating a group for each would be layout inside my Flexible Content field
2. Make said group inactive
3. Use a Clone field in my Flexible Content field to pull in the fields I want
Why?
I was thinking that groups create their own JSON files on save so the only way a developer could have an issue is if they explicitly work on the same component.
Given this, I was wondering if it’s possible to programmatically convert what I have into their own groups?
Try asking in r/prowordpress – more experienced dev’s over there.
