[Resolved] Customise repeatable custom images in a form

We use a repeatable custom image field and would like, when displaying it in a form, to customise it a bit:
Most important would be to display the images as thumbnails in a row and to be able to translate (or change the image) for the "Add new" since it's not going to be in english.
It would also be nice to drag and drop the images directly instead of using the arrow-icon.
How can these things be done?

Hi, the display of each repeated image isn't currently very flexible, so I don't have a good solution that will allow you to show them on a single row or drag and drop outside the "move" arrows icon. If you would like to request these features to be added to Forms, I suggest you create two new tickets here in the forum using the "Suggest an Improvement" option. Describe what you would like to be able to accomplish, and our developers will evaluate your request. I can't promise they will decide to implement either, but that's the required first step.

As far as the "Add New" and "Delete" buttons on repeating image fields, those can be managed in WPML String Translation under the wpv-views text domain if you're using WPML, or if not you can add these code snippets in your child theme's functions.php file:

add_filter('toolset_button_delete_repetition_text', 'toolset_button_delete_repetition_text', 10, 2);
function toolset_button_delete_repetition_text($text, $config)
{
    return 'Your own custom delete text';
}

add_filter('toolset_button_add_repetition_text', 'toolset_button_add_repetition_text', 10, 2);
function toolset_button_add_repetition_text($text, $config)
{
    return 'Your own custom add new text';
}

Change the text as needed for each button.

Thanks, I'll see what I can do with the existing solution for now but I suspect many would welcome a bit more control over this.
The changing of the button labels worked fine.
