Hello,
If i understand you correctly:

instead of using a 'multiple' select field, you want to use a 'single' select field with that has a graphical AJAX UI, Add, Remove, Drag AND Drop.
Right?

hmm - sorry hard to explain cause my english isn't that good...

i need a filedtype with three values...

the first is a textvalue (for how much) the second is the dropdown list and the third is again a textfield (for wich ingrediante)

is it now more logically explained? :oops:

is it possible to program something like that by myself?

thanks for your "patience"

i made three fileds

text - howMuch
list -
text - ingredients

and now try to make out of those three fields a new filed with them included... (like a group of those three fields)

but something i make completely wrong! or is this not possible?

thanks

Hello,

If you insert 3 fields into the template doesn't have the effect?

Hello,

...the idea is the nested output of tabular data per content-item, which would mean a new field type "Subtable" with an underlying sql-table with additional rows for each fc item.

A simple generic form could look like:
- sql-table with fields: fc-item, text1, text2, ...
- input of the textfields either as text, selector or combined (like position entry in joomla module editor), whereas the selector data could be collected from existing entries
- editing with the well-known ajax functions in backend.

A useful extension, I think - I would use it
