Hi there @Parovka!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂

Strange, I can't reproduce it with latest changes in contrib branch.

I just tested it on Contrib and reproduced the issue. The issue only occurs when you leave a repeatable text field empty and then create the member.

@andr317c in this case I also left the repeatable textstring empty, but the member was already created.
So probably how it handle null value initially.

Hi!

Thanks for the quick response. It's not really a big deal, but it would be nice if someone could fix this.
Thanks in advance!
