I am struggling with repeatable field groups.

I use elementor pro for my sites and I've come across this issue I am having a few times, but just found a work around where I wouldn't need to us RFPs.

However, on this occasion I would like to use an RFP and I am struggling to impliment the form onto the front end.

The form shows perfectly on the front end, apart from it doesn't show as a repeatable.
The form shows the fields once and that is all, where I would expect the form to show the fields and then a button to add the same fields again to repeat them.

For instance, I have created a CPT 'Knowledge Base'

I've create a RFG called 'Steps' which contains fields;

Image, Step Number, Description.

I've create a form for the CPT and then the RFG.

However, when showing on the front end, I can only add one version of 'Steps'.

I've tried adding the form to a Content Template to then add that onto my Elementor Front end, however, I still get the same output on a Content Template too.

Is there something else I should be doing differently?

Many Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for getting int ouch.

Unfortunately this is how the repeatable field groups function on the frontend.

You can only add the items one at a time. Essentially you will need to submit the form 5 times if you're creating 5 repeating groups. You're not able to do it all then submit the form only once.

Thanks,
Shane
