Well,

yes combining a select field with one or 2 text fields would be a useful field.

Is it ok to do it with 3 fields?

Regards

To place fields more properly together you may want to change your template.

--> You could add php 'if' statement to check the field name being displayed and output some html.
--> Or just put them in a template position and change the html of the position

e.g.
Let's say you put your fields in position subtitle3:
--> You can add some html and put your fields in a html table row.
--> Or you could do this by using css.

All this provided you have html / css knowledge.

Regards

Always watched out for a matrix/grid field in Joomla CCKs or even Drupal. Do you know ExpressionEngine ? ... it has some impressive extensions for a similar purpose... take a look here, just for inspiration:

mmm, if you edit a FLEXIcontent template will not have the same effect?

The FLEXIcontent template 'default' is already a table, with one row per item.

Yes, a custom template is a good start... but will remain "fixed" for the amount of cells/rows the user can input. Please, correct me if I am wrong here...

The most flexible solution would be a repeatable and extendable field, something the user can add/expand in vertical and horizontal direction...

just thinking loud ;-)
