FAQ

Why the alternative?

It is simply to provide a way to enter data for multi-value fields in a similar fashion to what is offered via the Drupal Field UI. The advantage of the module would be that you can see all the data up-front without needing to click on any tabs. The downside is that you can end up with a lot of scrolling. This module also provides better capabilities to reorder data.

Known Issues

For the last item in a list, “Move Up” moves it up.  For any middle item in a list, “Move Up” may move it down.  This is because the initial form Field Panel HAS to have the name 0. To ensue it works without javascript, the Move function makes use of a single form element to track what and where you are moving elements.
