Provides customizations per field instance for unlimited multiple value fields.
Sponsored by Phase2 Technology.
Features
- Per field instance settings.
- Minimum number of field items required.
- Maximum number of field items allowed.
- Remove the extra empty item on the multiple value form.
- Adds a table row class (field-item-required) for required items in the field multiple table.
Field Instance Settings
The following customizations work with fields that have an unlimited cardinality.
- Enable Field Multiple Extended: If enabled then this module will alter the
field multiple value form. - Minimum required items: By default in Drupal, a required field requires only
1 item to be completed. This setting adds a minimum number of items required
that have to be completed for a required or optional field. Optional fields
can be either empty or have the minimum number of items.
Example: Minimum of 2 cards. - Maximum allowed items: This setting can be changed per field instance since
the field must be unlimited. If a field was stored with more items than the
max allowed, then the items will be flagged as errors on the edit form only. - Exclude the extra empty item: By default in Drupal, an unlimited field has an
extra field item form displayed. This is not ideal when using large field
collection fields.
Installation

- Navigate to administer >> build >> modules. Enable Field Multiple Extended.
