Inline Repeater Interface

A powerful interface for managing repeatable form fields within Directus that allows inline editing and reordering of items.

An alternative to the core Repeater Interface that opens inline as opposed to a drawer.

Note: This interface is for JSON fields only and doesn’t support validation.

Features

• Inline editing of repeatable fields
• Drag and drop reordering
• Expandable/collapsible accordion items
• Customizable field templates
• Confirmation dialogs for item removal
• Expand/Collapse all functionality

Usage

The interface presents a list of repeatable items that can be:

1. Added using the “Add New” button
2. Expanded/collapsed for editing
3. Reordered via drag and drop
4. Removed with confirmation (optional)

Installation and Setup

Follow the Official Guide for installing extensions from the Marketplace or manually.
