Limit repetitive fields inputs on CRED forms

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
A CRED form includes a repetitive field for images. The client wants to limit how many images the user can upload.

Solution:
This is not possible with Toolset settings and requires writing custom code, specifically jQuery in this case.

A possible solution would be the following, though you may need to modify it for your own use.

( function( $ ) {
    $( document ).ready( function(){
 
        let maxreps = 4;
 
        $(".js-wpt-repadd").on( "click", function(e){
 
            // how many repetitions?
            if ( $('.wpt-repctl').length >= maxreps -1 ) {
                // hide button to add more
                $(this).hide();
            }
        });
 
        // add click listener to trash buttons
        $(".click-form").on( "click", ".js-wpt-repdelete", function(e){
 
            $(".js-wpt-repadd").show();
        });
    });
})( jQuery );

Add that to the custom JS section of the form, and edit for the maximum number of repetitions.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Hi there

Are you talking about a front-end CRED form?

With a repeating image custom field, yes?

There aren't any options or settings for this in CRED.

To add such functionality you'll need to add some custom code. Note that our support doesn't include providing or supporting custom code, and if needs be you can contact the contractors listed here if you need help: https://toolset.com/contractors/

However, to get you started, you can try the using the following code, which you would add to the custom JS section of your form. You would need to edit the maxreps variable (currently set as 4).

( function( $ ) {
	$( document ).ready( function(){

		let maxreps = 4;

		$(".js-wpt-repadd").on( "click", function(e){

			// how many repetitions?
			if ( $('.wpt-repctl').length >= maxreps -1 ) {
				// hide button to add more
				$(this).hide();
			}
		});

		// add click listener to trash buttons
		$(".click-form").on( "click", ".js-wpt-repdelete," function(e){

			$(".js-wpt-repadd").show();
		});
	});
})( jQuery );

This code does not work - Please change Line 17 to:

$(".click-form").on( "click", ".js-wpt-repdelete", function(e){
