ACF Repeater Field + qtranslate_text / qtranslate_text_area fails required validation #97

Closed fedefrei closed 7 years ago

fedefrei commented 7 years ago

Hi... I have the plugins ACF(v4.4.11) and Repeater field (v1.1.1), along with the latest version of acf-qtranslate.

One of the custom fields is made of a repeater, and within it, it has a qtranslate_text that is required. In qtranslate I've selected 3 languages. The point is, when I add a row in the field, and complete the required field, but only for one language, the required validation fails. It's not supposed to autocomplete the other languages with the same text? Or leave the text blank and in the fronten show "(lang) text"?

After investigating how the plugin works, I find that the error I have encountered is to be expected since the field is required. However, I could humbly suggest a couple of improvements, for example:

Provide an option in a way that the "(lang)" tag that appears in case the completed language is different than the current language, is optional.
Provide an option that you select to autocomplete the fields that are required.

Thank you in advance and greetings. You can mark this issue as closed.
