When creating a new custom field of the type repeatable and the fieldname is left empty, the values are not stored. This changed makes the fieldname required thus making sure the values can be stored.
Testing Instructions
Setup a Joomla 3.9 installation
Go to Content Fields
Create a new field by clicking New
Enter the Title Repeatable
Select the type repeatable
Add a new Form Field by clicking on the green +
Leave the Name empty
Set the Type to Text
The form now looks like this:
Save & Close the field
Click on Articles
Click on New
Enter the article title
Click on the Fields tab
There is the repeatable field we just created
Click on the green + to add a value
Enter a value
Click on the green + again
Enter a second value
Save the article
Notice the two rows are there but there are no values
Apply the patch
Go to Content -> Fields
Edit the Repeatable field we created in step 10
Notice that the Name field is now required
Enter a name
Save & Close the field
Repeat step 11 until 19
Notice the two rows are there with values this time.
