Often a modular block is an overkill solution when all you want is a repeating basic content type.
If we just want the field options to be an array of options, why not allow field type = string and turn on the option array? Then the UI presents a “+” button to add an additional string, and the API returns [], ["string"] or ["string1", "string2", ...]
Equally for something more complex like a video field, the API would return an array of objects.
This generalises the existing way that single/multi fields are handled.
When I say any field, of course, it doesn’t make sense Modular content (which is already essentially array) or SEO fields. So, this feature would enable:
- List of text field
- List of media (=media gallery)
- List of datetimes
- List of numbers
- List of booleans
- List of locations
- List of colours
- List of links (=multi link field)
