Does not support multiple value fields well

I have tested this and you are correct. The JavaScript is broken for multi-value fields.

My use case was:

Title 1

• Item 1
• Item 2
• Item 3
• Item 4

Title 2

• Item 1
• Item 2
• Item 3
• Item 4

Title 3

• Item 1
• Item 2
• Item 3
• Item 4

I created a flexifield content type called "Specification" and used the following fields:

Fields:

• Title - single value
• Item(s) - multi-value

This was attached to another content type using Flexifield and allowed to be multi-value (unlimited) itself.

This breaks JS on the page, fieldsets don't collapse, everything JS-based seems to fail.

I also noticed that required fields are required on admin/content/node-type/[node-type]/fields/field_[field]. This is silly because you are forced to have a default value when you may not need one.

I ended up using content_multigroup.module which is part of CCK (just hidden by having no .info file).

Does it support multiple values field like freetagging?

What appears to be occuring is the "Add another item" function for child fields within flexifields, adds a new flexifield parent field item if nothing is filled in, instead of adding more fields to the child.

I also noticed that the buttons normally get the class 'ahah-processed'. If you put u multi-value field in a flexifield the 'Add another item' buttons don't get that class added to them...

I think it has something to do with duplicate id's for html elements that causes ahah.js to crash and not process the page correctly.

If I find the time I will look in to this.

This is now fixed in 6.x-1.0-alpha2. Note, however, that you need to enable the "Disable drag-and-drop for this field" checkbox on the configuration form for the flexifield field when it is containing a multivalued field that uses drag-and-drop and the "add another item" button inside.

6.x-1.0-alpha2 fixes the issue EXCEPT for when the fields are inside of a fieldset.

So if you have the exact same thing as what was described in post one but you have a Group around them, it breaks.
effulgentsia, I have sent you login info to test the issue I am describing.

It is still broken when the flexifield is inside a field group. Can some one confirm this? I have reproduced it on two sites.

I also sent effulgentsia login info to try out what I have tried, but he never responded. Anyone else want to try it out then please contact me to see the issue.

bump? anyone out there?

I haven't had a chance yet to work on flexifield since releasing alpha2, but I'll resume that shortly. I opened a new issue (#399886: Multi-valued fields inside a field group inside a flexifield don't work) that I see as more of a problem with integration with fieldgroup rather than belonging on this thread. So I'm marking this thread as fixed, although if someone discovers a different bug with multi-valued fields inside a flexifield, feel free to change the status accordingly.
