Description

Trackers can have many fields.

Multilingual is a way to have multiple values.

Native multi-valued trackers would be useful in certain circumstances.

Another way is to use Category Tracker Field or Items List and Item Link Tracker Fields or Drop Down - Radio Tracker Field with multiple choice option. Probably the best is to build upon the Relations Tracker Field.



We would also want multiple sets.

First Name 1 (field 46)
Last Name 1 (field 47)
Address 1 (field 49)

First Name 2
Last Name 2
Address 2

First Name 3
Last Name 3
Address 3

First Name 4
Last Name 4
Address 4

Could we imagine a new tracker field type "Set of fields":
Fields: List of fields in the set. ex.: 46,47,49
Number of repetitions: ex.: 3

This would create artificial fields (in this case 46-2, 47-2, 49-2, 46-3, 47-3, 49-3, 46-4, 47-4, 49-4)

So these fields could be used independently (ex.: 47-2), but since they are linked, we could have some smarter handling for forms, reports and exports.

We could want the input form to by default indicate only the first set of fields, and via jQuery, show additional set of fields.
We could want a report/export of this "Set of fields" which would aggregate everything in one listing.
