Multi level subform

[webchun]

Steps to reproduce the issue

• I'm using subform for my module parameters
• I have this code on my xml :

<field name="items" type="subform" formsource="modules/mod_modulex/fields/item.xml" min="1" max="4" multiple="true" layout="joomla.form.field.subform.repeatable-table" groupByFieldset="true" label="Subform Field" description="Subform Field Description" />

• This is the content of the item.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<form>
<fieldset name="field_items" label="Fields">
        <field
            name="field_label"
            type="text"
            label="title"
            size="40" />

        <field name="subchild_items" type="subform" formsource="modules/mod_modulex/fields/subchild_items.xml" max="20" multiple="true" layout="joomla.form.field.subform.repeatable-table" groupByFieldset="true" label="value" description="Checkbox Items" showon="field_type:4"/>
</fieldset>
</form>

and this is the content of subchild_items.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<form>
<fieldset name="field_items2" label="Fields">
    <field
        name="subchild_value"
        type="text"
        default="0"
        label="Value"
    />
</fieldset>
</form>

Expected result

The subform works properly

Actual result

It works partially. The subchild subform is displayed, but it's breaking the next fieldset, and every time I added the new item, the subchild subform's field is displayed twice

System information (as much as possible)

Joomla 3.6.2

Multi level subform in multiple=true mode does not supported for now (due some limitation).
However in single (multiple=false) mode should work, in theory, but I not tried 😄

@Fedik Ah ok ;)

@Fedik, any idea when the multilevel subform code might be available? I'm stuck with the need, and while I probably don't have as much experience with jquery as you, I am happy to help in any way I can. It will probably take me 2-3 weeks to come up with my own solution to use in my own joomla site, and I'd rather devote that to the core project if possible. I'm good with joomla, php, css, etc, and ok with js and such.

Happy to contribute if I can.

Some months ago I tried to fix it for my own project, but did not got any success with multilevel subform.
There need some more coding and changes in the script and in the layout.
I am not sure that it can be fixed soon.

showon = "test: 1" This is just the minimum that can be used in multiple = "true", that everything was beautiful.

It would be nice to make this type of field that would work all. The modules have become much brighter and more convenient to the end user ispolbzovanii Joomla!

showon="test:1" Это как раз тот минимум , который можно было использовать в multiple="true" , что бы все было красиво.
Было бы неплохо сделать этот тип поля , что бы все работало. Модули стали бы намного ярче и удобней в исполбзовании для конечного пользователя джумлы

@Fedik Is there a indication when this is going to be fixed/implemented. Because as of now we can't include any subform from other extensions that have their own subforms.

multiple=true / multiple=false both give the same results in both cases it does not save any values. See this ticket for a bit more info:#12838

Is there a indication when this is going to be fixed/implemented
