I am using a university install of Toolset to manage academic/faculty splash pages. I would like to have a list of publications for each faculty member,

[href][title], [coauthors], [journal], [year]

Because of styling and URLs, this is a five-tuple of data. I can take this as five separate single-line (or URL) inputs and it works just fine, for one publication. However, most faculty have more than one publication, and indeed the number can be arbitrarily large. Is there the capacity to bind inputs together as a set and allow new sets to be added? Something like:

+----------------------+
|Title:     [title    ]|
|URL:       [url      ]|
|Coauthors: [coauthors]|
|Journal:   [journal  ]|
|Year:      [year     ]|
+----------------------+

+----------------------+
|+ Add new publication |
+----------------------+

As mentioned, I'm on a centralized university install, so I cannot mess with any of the PHP backend.

Dear Kyle,

I suggest you setup the "publication" as child post type of "faculty member", when you edit a "faculty member" post, in section post type relationship, there you can add multiple field groups, see our document:
