Dear Beda,

I have a custom post type "host", this is the child post of "tv-program", each "host" has post fields such as name, gender, bio and his/her personal social media URL. For each social media URL, I want to associate each URL with the name of social media such as Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, etc. Each 'host' may contain more than one social media link.

How can I group the name of social media and its url together? When I add a social media to host, then I need to provide the URL, and this group is repeatable for the host post.

I do consider to have a social media post type and associate it as the child field of "host" but it is not so reasonable as social media is not a post and it may have many of posts are the same name (e.g. Facebook)

How can I create the group post field?

Best regards,

Kelvin.
