Repeating Fields ( groups )

  1. Would like to see the possibility to add repeating fields ( group of fields ).

    e.g.: I have a dropdown box with a bunch of numbers, indicating the number of people joining.
    When 1 is selected, i'd like to have 1 group of name / address input fields. When 2 is selected i'd like to have 2 group of name / address input fields.. etc etc.

    I've been testing with conditional logic but that isn't made for things like this.

    Another option would be a group of fields for name / address and an 'Add person' button to add another group of name / address fields for adding one more person. etc etc.

  2. The +1 functionality for the list type field is new, and will be continually enhanced. We'll take your suggestions under consideration. Thanks for your thoughts.

    This would be a really useful addition to the plugin for me.

  4. Yup definitely need this! A way to define a group of fields which I can then reference in the conditional logic via the group's name.

  7. By using Section Breaks in your Gravity forms you can group sections of field together to display when a value is selected in your gravity Form Dropdown field.

    See example here - http://www.stayanight.co.za/v3/gravity-forms-field-groups-using-section-breaks

    Example: You want the visitor to select a number of people in his group. So if 1 is selcted you want 1 name Field and 1 Address field to appear. If he selects 2 the 2 Name Fields and 2 Address Fields must appear

    To do this:

    Create a dropdown field with your values 1,2,3 ......
    Insert a Section Break
    Insert a Name Field and an Address field
    Save your form
    Now go to your first Section break and under "Advanced" check the "Conditional Logic" box
    Set your Logic to read "SHOW this field if ANY of the following match:
    Select your Dropdown Field name and "is" and "Your first value"
    Click on the + sign
    Select your Dropdown Field name and "is" and "Your second value"
    Insert another Section Break
    Insert a Name Field and an Address field
    Save your form
    Now go to your first Section break and under "Advanced" check the "Conditional Logic" box
    Set your Logic to read "SHOW this field if ANY of the following match:
    Select your Dropdown Field name and "is" and "Your Second value"
    Save your Form

  8. I, too, would like the ability to add a group of fields - so want to add a vote for that.

    I like the advanced list field option with the plus/minus. I just can't use that all the time because I need more than text fields in a group of fields.

    Jacquesbez - Thanks for sharing your solution. I think I'll be using it for now.

  9. I also need this feature:
    * the ability to add unlimited items/groups
    * the first set could be: name1, description1, qty1, comment1
    * when you add another item the field names could be name2, description2, qty2, comment2

    We have a very long form which would definitely benefit from the ability to use groups. (For example, we have a form which has almost 200 fields, 120 of which are three groups of 40 of the same field, for the second and third entries.)

    Alternatively, if there was a "meta" form which could incorporate numerous smaller forms, that would potentially work as well, and in many ways would be "normalized."

  11. Yes, this would be a helpful feature. We want to attach people to an organization. If there are more than one, it would be helpful for the user to be able to add as many additional ones as necessary.

  12. If I could only choose one feature to add to Gravity Forms, this would be it. It would be SO useful and comes up in nearly all my implementations as a fallback. WP-Types plugin supports this sort of functionality but with custom post types instead form entries.

    Big +1 !!!

  13. Another BIG +1 from me for this feature. I've only been using Gravity Forms a couple of days but I already need this on my first form.

    We have not released a version yet that includes this feature. We will be touting it widely once it is out, as I will be utilizing it as well. We have many add-ons in development currently that will be amazing and we are laying the ground work for others, so please continue to be patient.

    While I currently do this with conditional logic, having a configuration option for "Allow user to clone this input?" checkbok and a "Maximum number of clones:" to drive the dropdown with whcih a user would select "Number of <field_title>" would shure save some time building certain forms.
