Hi,

I see this in the documentation:
"Currently, you cannot create Toolset forms for nested repeatable groups. It is also not possible to use Toolset forms to edit existing information that comes from repeatable groups. Both of these features will be implemented in the near future."

Any idea when this might be possible? I really need it for a site I am working on.

You can currently Create RFG (Repeatable Field Groups) Fields with Toolset Forms that are not nested.
(First level RFG fields)

To do this you select RFG's in the Form Post type to add when the form is submitted.
Remember, nested RFG (RFG in another RFG) will not appear there.

To edit such fields is not possible.

It is possible to create such forms, but they will not display on the Front end, instead a message will appear:
"The post type and form do not correspond".

This feature will be added in future.
I cannot state any ETA for this further than what is stated in the doc, unfortunately.

I pressed the development for this, in order to bring up the relevance.
