Several types of input fields have not been handling the "multiple" attribute. This attribute causes the fields to store their values as an array instead of as a string. But this fields expect a string when they attempt to load a value from the database. As a result, the field displays no value. The "multiple" attribute is needed at least for textarea and email so that validation can anticipate multiple values. This solution stops the addition of '[]' to the input field's name if it belongs to one of these text-based field types.
