ACF Repeater Field missing data

I’m currently working on an ACF powered site that uses repeaters for building out components. Inside some of those components, they have repeaters to allow for repeating types of content like stats, testimonials, etc.

Creating a revision on the free plugin (v3.7.8) works great out of the box. All of the page’s fields get carried over and works exactly like I expect it to. Previewing it also works fine without any site errors.

We purchased the pro version (also v3.7.8), but whenever I create a revision for a page with nested repeaters, those repeaters’ data does not get carried over for previews. While this could be something missing in our get_sub_field calls, I don’t think it is, because none of the data appears inside of a get_fields() call on the page either. When I look at the comparison of the revision, it doesn’t show anything different about those missing fields and publishing the revision works fine without any errors.

Basically, if I have an ACF field group that has a field that’s a repeater of numbers, then I just get a bool of false in the Pro version of the plugin when I’m on a page preview. get_fields will also show those areas as empty, too. It’s weird, because the free version seems to copy (or reference?) all of the data over without a problem.

I’ve tried messing around with options in the Pro version that mention theme compatibility, previewing slug vs ID, etc., but it just looks like the data isn’t available. I didn’t have to mess with anything on the free plugin for it to keep the data, so I’m thinking it probably isn’t related to any of these options individually.

Is there a way to possibly disable the ACF integration if that is the case? What we’re wanting to use it for seems to work fine with just the free version, but we would like the ability to have multiple revisions that look like its part of the paid plugin.
