Multiple text entries for one field?

    Is there any easy way possible to set up a single form field that contains multiple blanks to be filled? For example, perhaps I'd want to ask someone to list their hobbies, but I'd want each and every hobby to be entered in a different box (versus listing them in a "single line text" or "paragraph text" box). It's great that we can easily do multiple choice types of questions, with pre-defined choices, but I'd like to have multiple custom entries as described above.

    The only way I can think of doing this, from what I've learned so far, is to have a big series of single line text blanks, perhaps displayed two or three columns across, with all the field labels left blank so it looks like a nice matrix of blanks (although spaced a bit too far apart). This would also result in every single blank appearing as a different form field when the entries are viewed, unfortunately.

    If this isn't a feature now, please consider it for the near future! :)

  2. We have plans for 2 new field types that will do what you described that we plan on introducing in the next major feature release.

    Thanks, Carl. Too bad I'll be finished with this current design client before then. I'll rig it up some other way. :)

  4. Hey Carl,

    This is something I'm definitely interested in as well. Do you have any updates as to when this might be available?

    Thanks!

  5. @bgfrancey, please begin a new topic with your question if you still have one. This topic is very old and I'm not certain what you want to do exactly, but I think what you want to do is possible with the List Field. The list field can be expanded to include drop downs and textareas as well. http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_column_input
