Content Block (with upload/multiple upload) inline creation

[manfield]

I think this is would be a very useful feature. Almost necessary I guess.
If I had to use backpack as custom web content management system this feature would solve most of the requirements.
Content Blocks in a WCMS system are quite always made of title, rich text, media (or media gallery), attachments, video,...
This Content Block may be instantiated for a "page" or "post/article" multiple times and filled totally or partially.
This way your page/post/article may be a sequence of mixed elements in a very versatile way.
Unfortunately this kind of inline creation does not work for upload or multiple uploads and content blocks are not added to the form directly but through a modal (though this kind of content should be entirely printed out inline).
I'd love to see this feature available. Probably Backpack would be the solution for many projects.

Hello @manfield

You think something like this package File Manager? Or did you have something else in mind, please share an example, so maybe we can help you to achieve this.

Cheers.

Try imaging a repeating object like this, you can create n times (the object is a simplification that contains a multilple uploader to create an image gallery):

If I can repeat this object N times I can manage a lot of situation on a web page.
But it seems block repeating and multiple uploads don't work together.

Hey @manfield

You can Create a custom Field Type using editorjs for this custom need. I also wanted to introduce something like this, but It's not MIT-licensed. So, I canceled the plan for a while.
