File Description Not Saving for Multi-file Fields in a Repeater

[DaveP]

I have a repeater to track approval of a customer's artwork, in a company intranet app. The repeater holds a couple of date fields, a multi file field for artwork proofs and a notes field. Our graphics department produce an initial proof and its details are stored on the repeater. Any subsequent re-proofs are also stored that way. 

The problem is that although the file uploads (.pdf mainly) work fine, but not the file description. (This is all through the PW admin, not the API.) I can edit the repeater item directly (via Admin > Repeaters) and it saves as expected, so the problem seems to be related to the files field being inside a repeater.

Hey Dave,

I don't have any problems here with the description field with PDF uploads in repeaters. I only did this for the first time yesterday actually and I am using a fairly recent dev version. I can't think of what might be causing the problem, but just wanted to chime in and say it's definitely not universal, or at least it has been fixed if it was

Further strangeness - in the process of testing the original problem, it appears I cannot delete files from the aforementioned files fields within repeaters, either.

I even grabbed a fresh copy of PW from github and replaced the /wire/ folder, but to no avail...

Dave, did you try against dev version?

[DaveP]

Antti, I haven't as I'm a bit nervous of doing so on the live system.

PW requires 5.3.8 and I obviously don't know the difference between 5.3.2.6 and 5.3.26.

26 is higher than 8.
