Repeatable Fields

[Ashley_Hart]

It would be great to allow specified groups of fields to be repeated by the user. i.e. duplicate fields in form view.

Could you be a little more specific about what you mean by repeating specified groups of fields? For what purpose you would use this feature?

[Ashley_Hart]

Sure, so FormStack for example call this a Add-Item Form. This article
explains exactly what I’m after:

formstack.com

Online Form Builder | Form Creator for Online Forms | Formstack

Advanced online form builder & data collection tool for registrations, surveys, payments, leads & more. Use our online forms to increase workplace productivity. Learn more now!

Let me know if this makes sense.

Cheers,
Ash

I think I’m wondering the same thing. I’m looking for repeating fields within a record. In other words, I have customers that repeat more than one product, and at the moment I’m creating a new record for each product. Hoe do I create one record for a sale date for each purchase that has multiple products on it and can have a sum total. In filemaker, this was a repeating field.

Hi Mark :wave: I recommend checking out our Product Catalog and Orders template and this support article, which provides some guidance on creating this type of setup. Hope this helps a bit!

@Ashley_Hart Did you ever find a good solution for this?

[Ashley_Hart]

Nope, sorry I haven’t.

Any update on this since 2017?

@Katherine_Duh any update on this? definitely a much needed feature. thanks!

[Samira_Smith]

Repeatable fields would be so helpful! Any chance this could get developed in AT?

This would be an amazing feature. You could have the repeatable section be a different table so that you can basically create a record with multiple linked records created by the repeatable section. This would be a game changer for our organization. I assume right now the only way to do this is to create your own form by hand and use the Airtable API to create all the records.
