    Is it possible to make a single group in a clonable set of groups removable? I’d like the UI to be cleaner such that if there’s no items of a certain type for a post it simply is empty with a button to add one, instead of empty fields. Likewise if I need to remove an entry I can remove all of them except the last one, at which point the end user needs to erase all the data.

    Hi,

    Iā€™d like the UI to be cleaner such that if there are no items of a certain type for a post, it simply is empty with a button to add one, instead of empty fields

    I think you can use the extension Meta Box Conditional Logic to show fields if it has a condition to show.

    I need to remove an entry I can remove all of them except the last one, at which point the end-user needs to erase all the data

    Thanks for your idea, I’m going to create a feature request to support a button to remove all cloneable fields and keep the last one.

    I can see that being useful but not entirely what I was after. ACF actually does this pretty well, you can erase all the clones so there’s 0 on screen and it only has a button to add a row, so if there’s 0 of something there’s also 0 visible rows in the backend. It seems in MB.IO there’s always one clone minimum visible. So the request would be the ability to just have 0 fields visible except a button to add clones as needed, and once that’s possible we’d be able to remove the final row in a set the same way we can remove the rest.

    Thanks for the feedback, I will note all ideas into the request and assign to the developer team to improve the cloneable field.

    Have a good day.
