@marcodings This is a great idea, and I think we can most certainly do this.

Would you be so kind to take the JCB demo component (just compile it) and then hand code this feature into it. That way you will save me the time of doing that, and I can really just focus on adding it to the compiler in the right places.

Thanks!

I am about to add this feature, and it seems very straightforward. we will have to help the newbies to be able to get the stored values on the front-end. The documentation says:

JModelLegacy::addIncludePath(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_fields/models', 'FieldsModel');
$fieldModel = JModelLegacy::getInstance('Field', 'FieldsModel', array('ignore_request' => true));
$fieldModel->setValue($fieldId, 'com_example.item', $item->id, ‘demo value’);

This is the way to get the values, I was wondering if any of you have done more automation in this regard?

I found the easy way to get the fields to display on the front-end is via the events being triggered. So I also added not event options to dynamic gets that are getItem type. This can server a beginning of this new feature. Please test and let me know.
