Field Groups and repeater suggestions

    I need to create a form that allows the user to upload up to five projects. Each project will have up to 5 images, a title, and description (file upload, input and textarea). It seems a bit cumbersome to have to go through creating this many form elements over and over on the backend. It would be nice to group common form fields into a field group, which you can then duplicate easily.

    On the front-end, it would be awesome for the user to be able to press "add project" and a whole new row of those 3 form fields appear. Instead of locking it in at exactly two, three, four, or five projects, it would be nice to allow the user to control how many they want to add, with validation requiring a certain number. That would really make this plugin even more powerful!

    You can do the front-end with conditional logic. I have even went as far as placing custom div containers throughout all of my forms with my own jquery drop-down script. I have added up to 12 additional fields and all new radio selections using conditional logic. You can even add in line breaks and such and apply logic to them as well to give you even more "show-hide" options.

    If you're not changing the core form elements you can duplicate the entire form and delete what you don't need. I have a common set of "fields" in a form that I don't use and I just duplicate it and plug-in the additional goodies I want in each form. I then assign these forms to my products in WooCommerce or I use them on my site for whatever I need them for.
