What am I working on?

Hi Kyle,
I am currently using cb fields to set new functionalities (eg subscribe to push notifications). Lets say I have thirty of them. Our user currently has to use AJAX for all of them which is really annoying as he has to do a LOT of clicks and waits. It would be much easier if we could put these all in a "group" then you can edit the group and change all of them instead of changing each one by one. Furthermore you can then make the fields dependent on each other which is not possible in AJAX (ie IF field XYZ has value ABC, then open field with "Why customer chose ABC") Will that be possible?

It's likely you'll be able to ajax edit a field group (the entire field group, not the individual fields in the field group), yes. As for conditioning the fields in a field group, no not initially as that requires some fixes and improvements in CB Conditional it self to handle and it's not a guarantee it'll ever be possible.

Ok, it's looking like the following fields will not be allowed in Field Groups.

The reason the above won't be allowed, initially, is due to their jQuery bindings not supporting being rebound when CB Repeat clones them. The plan is to fix that behavior in CB it self when possible and then enable those fieldtypes in CB Field Groups. Additionally the following fieldtypes will never be permitted for grouping due to their intended function and behavior.

All other field types will function fine and as intended. For example Text, Text Area, Integer, Email Address, etc..

Ok, with some improvements to CB it self the following fields now work in repeat usages.

There will likely still be issues with image approval however as it may not be possible to extend the approval page with repeat field usages. This is still being reviewed. However upload/gallery/link behaviors of the above respective fields works fine. Yes, in theory this means you could have a image gallery from image fields but I highly highly suggest you do not and instead just use CB Gallery.
