Disappearing Repeating Fields

I've read through some of the other topics on this issue, but I just tried making a brand new character and this is still happening to me (click for animated gif): Any ideas?

Hi Nosaj, Try choosing something in a row before adding a new row.  See if that helps.

Thanks, that seems to help a bit, but is there any way to avoid that from happening at all? For example, clicking to add a few rows and entering or choosing items later?

I believe that is the nature of repeating items.  They really don't exist until you enter something in them...  Cheers

Well, good to know. Appreciate the help!

Hi, Nosaj. As Vince said those repeating sections appear in your browser but they don't actually exist in the back end until any property of the repeating section is set. So, what's happening is you're making a bunch of blank repeating sections, then updating one, which causes the blank placeholders to disappear because they don't actually exist yet as far as the server is concerned. If you fill them out one at a time as you make them you won't have this issue. Also, no repeating sections with filled in data will vanish like you're seeing there, only completely blank ones.
