    This is conceptual question.

    When in Place Settings and drag and dropping custom fields, you have ONE field that has essentially an array…the File Upload.

    For videos, it would be handy to have an array of text fields (for URL of the YouTube or wherever videos are). Otherwise, it seems like I need to create Video 1, Video 2, Video 3, etc. as custom field instances.

    If I have the URL, imagine I can create the Iframe required.

    Do you have another suggestion that I might ponder?

    Thanks!

    Hi, thanks for the feedback, i’ll look into it but the problem will be backwards compatibility.

    For purposes of Videos (what I’m currently working on) — where you might have a “limit” on how many videos someone can “show”, I think I’ll use the custom field of URL — that way I can show the videos however I want to show them.

    Won’t need Iframe field.

    Not so drag and droppable, but don’t want to STORE videos anyway. Just want to SHOW them.

    Backward compatibility is always a fun (not) thing to have to consider!

    Thanks for your reply.

    You could look into creating your own predefined field:
