Multi field form - Multi example 2

Seanmcn

How do I use multi example 2 featured here: http://docs.getfuelcms.com/general/forms#multi

The documentation doesn't seem to have anything on it? Infact I find the overall documentation for multi to be pretty confusing. An example of it working with a model would be great!

Are you wanting to use this field for a backend module? If so, you can add something like the following to your form_fields method on your module's model:
function form_fields($values = array(), $related = array()) { ..... $fields['multi_example'] = array('type' => 'multi', 'options' => $options, 'value' => 'a'); ..... return $fields; }

Trying to use it in an advanced module any idea how to achieve it in that?

I'd perhaps look at the "tester" advanced module which does something similar:

Specifically, in the controller, it uses Form_builder to create the form which gets passed to a view:
