This module allows to add combination of 2 fields at a time.
Currently it has been done for the combo of Node Reference+Text and User Reference+Text.

That sounds a lot like CCK 3.x multigroup. If you haven't tried out CCK 3.x give it a spin.

One key difference is that CCK Multigroup doesn't work with the 2.x branch. This does. Furthermore, CCK 3.x is still in alpha at this time.

I installed this module and it's pretty handy, but ultimately wonder if jumping over to CCK 3 isn't the right way forward, alpha or otherwise.

Attached are some screenshots that I took while evaluating.

3.x has a lot of users already. Most of the big bugs have been worked out already.

I tried out the CCK 3.x and multigroup is a pretty good module. It was working well with the fresh drupal installation and not with my current project going on. Still lot of bugs needs to be fixed. But yes, i can list down the following differences b/w the two:-

1) Multigroup can work only with 3.x whereras CCK Combo can be integrate with both 2.x and 3.x

2) Multigroup allows to create a group, for which it is necessary to enable both 'Node Reference' and 'User Reference' modules to create a combination, whereas with CCK combo, you dont even need to enable these 2 modules and only one module can do the needful.
