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.

I forgot, I've got a better visual than the text-based one above. It uses SIO, I'd like to see it included as a field type. http://scratchpad.referata.com/w/index.php?title=Patio&action=formedit
Hi skew, Sorry for the somewhat belated reply. :) I've been thinking of adding an input type to SF that resembles the interface that Gmail provides for selecting email addresses. It would probably use the Select2 library; you can see it in action here: http://ivaynberg.github.io/select2/#drag_drop Do you think this would be a reasonable substitute for what you're asking about? Or would you still prefer something that looked like the multiple-instance template interface?
