About grouping fields in item form there are 2 concerns
- each FLEXIcontent Field is a small application with complex configuration and as a result complex behaviour
- so there is the concern what happens with field configuration when grouping them ? do you group them and discard their configuration (e.g. their filtering configuration) ?
- several FLEXIcontent fields are already a group of fields (multi-property fields) which make it even more complex and tricky
- Our current approach (developer only) is:
FLEXIcontent approach for custom field group fieldsis to:
create multi-property fields
e.g.
- extended weblink etc,
- image/gallery field, etc
--- you can duplicate one of the above to create a NEW custom field type, see this FAQ article:
How to Duplicate a Flexicontent Field to create a new Field Type
- TODO (for end users):
provide a generic multi-property field, that will allow custom fields groups of single property fields:
- select
- selectmulitple
- radio
- checkbox
- radioimage
- checkboximage
- image
- file
