Description:
In your (Yaron's) words:
"A new input type for an enumeration with multiple values allowed -
instead of a listbox or checkboxes, have each additional value be
selectable using a separate dropdown, with the ability to add or
remove dropdowns using buttons."
Synopsis:
On a form, a declaration that might be similar to
Contributors:
{{field|Names|input type=combobox|multiple|add_button_text="Add another name"}}
would result in a form showing
Contributors:
[Add another name] <= button
Action: hit the [Add another name] button and select Rick Jones
Contributors:
Rick Jones [Remove]
[Add another name]
Action: hit the [Add another name] button and select Bruce Banner
Contributors:
Rick Jones [Remove]
Bruce Banner [Remove]
[Add another name]
Today, this can be done with SIO, a separate template, and the multiple keyword when used on a Form:page. However, that reduces the flexibility of the form layout since the separate template needs to be outside of the "main" template on the form. There are a few other advantages / disadvantages that I can bring up in comments if necessary, so I can keep this as short as possible.
