    I need to find a way of having a List option inside List Fields in Gravity Forms.

    The idea being …

    A user adds a NEW TASK. The task consists of a text field (TASK NAME), Drop down option (TASK CATEGORY) and a sub list option (TASK STEPS). User can add as many TEST STEPS before adding another NEW TASK.

    I know @ovann86 has created a great plugin that does this for
    Drop Down Options in List Fields for Gravity Forms, but Im needing to go another step further and allow lists as well as drop down.

    Hey,

    I’m having troubles understanding the layout and relation to each of these fields.

    Do you mean something like this?

    And maybe do the multi-select a little better, like the ‘Multiple select boxes’ example here:

    Thanks @ovann86 for getting back to me.

    What Im needing is this sort of layout if possible?

    Field 1 – DropDown
    Field 2 – Text Field
    Field 3 – List Option (User can add sub lists)
    Field 4 – Drop Down (Relates to sub lists created)

    Yea – that sure is complicated ! Im seeing two requirements –

    1 – sublists (field 3) being able to repeat inside a repeatable list field
    2 – related fields (field 4). I’ve done this before, but not like this. It’s complicated and required lots of testing to support page navigation and saving and continuing forms. I hard coded this for the form I use it in, so it’s wasnt a plug and play solution.

    I’m trying to think about how the data the data will be handled by GF, for notifications, exports, viewing and editing from the back end etc. Im not sure if the ‘list’ field will allow you to store an array (instead of a plain text value) inside the column.

    How confident are you with coding – php, jQuery, and understanding of HTML and CSS? To achieve this you’ll need a pretty good understanding.

    Thanks for this!

    I can appreciate its complexity as it’s had me stumped for a few days. Unfort Im not coder so this may be an issue, however I did just come across a plugin called Gravity Forms Repeater Add-On which could resolve the concept of lists within lists whilst still utilizing your dropdown plugin:

    It might also be worth looking at this plugin for the related list fields.

    At $49 i would email them first to see if it would work with the
    Gravity Forms Repeater Add-On plugin.
