Howto optimize the form with mutilple fields

Hi there,

I'm a bit struggling on the ideal way to use the form (and to save the data). Does anyone have an idea how to create this form the best way with chronoform.

Example:
A registration form for a soccer team, so with input field (name, address...) as soccerteam1

In the form I want a button "add player".
When clicked you see some additional fields (name, address and which team he's part of = soccerteam1)
You can add a second player (same procedure).

Then you click 'save' and all is saved. In an ideal situation I want to have a table "soccerteams" which has all info on the team. And then a table "players" where the soccerteam-id is the key link.

A have some difficulties trying to create this. I can't save in multiple tables. I'm unable to create the additional buttons, because an unlimited amount of fields is possible and I'm not sure how to do that.

Any feedback is great,
thanks in advance,
JMN

Hi JMN,

Thanks a lot!

Hi there.

I just installed the V6 version. Can you copy the existing forms from V5 to V6 ?
And how is the multiplier called in V6 ? I'm guessing "repeater area"?

Many thanks!

Hi JMN,

v5 forms can be imported into v6 but only the designer section and some features will not be moved.

The repeater area in v6 does not have the "multiplier" feature of v5 yet, but this is supposed to be ready by the next update.

Hmmm. That's a bummer. On my other post I had an issue with the multiplier on V5 (which I sadly still have)
and you guys tell me to upgrade. https://www.chronoengine.com/forums/posts/t103241/cannot-place-new-boxes-in-container.html#366358. So an issue that I can't solve on v5 and a v6 that hasn't got that option. Doesn't give me much options.

Kind regards,

Hi JMN,

Yes, I suggested that because you had some weird issue with the containers, did you have any similar issues in v6 ?

You CAN have a multiplier in v6 at the moment but its difficult to handle, so I'm working on a simpler solution.

What the repeater can do now in v6 is that it can show a list of already stored items, that can be done easily if you want to do only this ?

Best regards,

Hi JMN,

I have a working version of this now, if you are willing to get a prerelease installer then please let me know.

Best regards,
