      Hi. Just discovered Piklist, and I’m using it to create a theme for podcasters. I’m creating a custom meta box where users can enter details about the music that’s included in an episode.

      For each song, the user should be able to add the title, artist, and a URL. This should be a repeater, so the user can add as many songs as needed.

      I’m trying this, but it’s not working:

      piklist('field', array(
	
	'label' => 'Music',
	'description' => 'Add songs from this episode',
	'add_more' => true,

	'fields' => array(
		array(
			'type' => 'text',
			'value' => 'song title',
			'field' => 'song_title'
		),
		array(
			'type' => 'text',
			'value' => 'song artist',
			'field' => 'song_artist'
		),
		array(
			'type' => 'text',
			'value' => 'song url',
			'field' => 'song_url'
		)
	)

));

      Am I doing something wrong?

      Hi, @ brianeoneill, you’re on the right track but you’re missing a few pieces.

      Your container field needs a type. You may also want to add labels for your sub-fields: 

      
piklist('field', array(
	'type' => 'group', // <== needed 
	'field' => 'music', // <== optional
	'label' => 'Music',
	'description' => 'Add songs from this episode',
	'add_more' => true,

	'fields' => array(
		array(
			'type' => 'text',
			'value' => 'song title',
			'field' => 'song_title'
			'label' => 'Title', // <== optional
		),
		array(
			'type' => 'text',
			'value' => 'song artist',
			'field' => 'song_artist'
			'label' => 'Artist', // <== optional
		),
		array(
			'type' => 'text',
			'value' => 'song url',
			'field' => 'song_url'
			'label' => 'URL', // <== optional
		)
	)

));

      See the example here for more details.
