If in doubt, duplicate your ACF Field group.
In all seriousness, this should solve any issues regarding not being able to save posts with nested ACF fields & repeaters.
If this does not work. Try adjusting the WP DB table wp_options -> option_name to a lower version. This will trigger the ACF DB update if needed.

This worked! 😃
Hello, I have the same (big) problem. Could you kindly explain better what I should do? I can have access to WP DB table but I don't understand which value I have to change.
Thank you very much.
In the WordPress
xx_optionstable find the row whereoption_nameisdb_versionand chage that to trigger DB update.However, I will be very careful with this. I tried it (on localhost, obviously) and destroyed the entire site.
