Hello

I’m new to Piklist, and am trying to build something like the ‘flexible content’ block of ACF (though not as complicated or with as many options), based partly on some code I found on the forum. As I’ve been adding more complexity, it’s got to the point where there’s a 5-10 second delay whenever I click the ‘+’ button to add more ‘blocks’. I haven’t found anything in the forums that answered this specific issue and my concern is that even though it seems to work (i.e. save the data) it’s going to be unusable for the client. Hopefully it’s just something I’m doing wrong that’s easily fixable: I post the full code that I’m using below in case that helps.

Thanks

P.S. Piklist seems great, so I hope to be able to use it for what I’m trying to do.
