Pro 6.0 beta 3: question about parameter lists

Beta
#1

I’m wondering if parameter lists will be included in the full release of Pro 6.0?

On the current beta docs page for parameters the Lists section leads to nowhere and is commented out in the HTML, however I did do a brief test of using the list feature for a group of parameters and everything appeared to be working correctly (albeit just for a simple use case)

Is it considered fully functional and working, or is it planned to be rolled out in a later point release?

This was my implementation based on the hidden example on the docs page:

{
  "board" : {
    "type"			: "group[]",
    "label"			: "Board members",
    "itemLabel"	    : "{{index}}, {{name}}",
    "params"		: {
      "name"		: "text|",
      "title"		: "title|",
      "image"		: "image|",
      "bio"			: "text-editor|"
    }
  }
}

And it was working perfectly with three board members, being pulled in to a Looper Provider via {{dc:p:board}} and all content being pulled in via {{dc:looper:field key="name"}} etc.

If it is being rolled out then wahoo! :partying_face: it will be so extremely useful to have, instead of setting up numerous custom post types just to have an easy editing interface for changing items and having consistency of style.

Fingers crossed! :crossed_fingers:

@arthurodb, see my response here about this. As noted on that thread, this is currently an experimental, non-supported feature (but it is available in the tool for you to tinker around with). I have given an extensive writeup there on how you might leverage this. Remember, at this time we cannot support this feature or answer any in-depth questions on it as it is all subject to change, but you are welcome to explore it some if you would like.

Hopefully that helps to point you in the right direction!
