It is quite a major upgrade since we have removed all Repeatable Fields in the Joomla Component area. Joomla Component area has quite a lot of Repeatable Fields. On opening the component it may be seen that Repeatable Fields are little models that pop-up with values which had been used quite excessively in this view.[00:00:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQrLBYhvGyA&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h00m43s) The reason why this was done is because it is a very smart Field since it combines these values into one value. The JavaScript on the page grabs these values and converts it into one value.

There are some conventional reasons which makes the Repeatable Fields on a Sub Form level more desirable, due to its ability to validate the data more correctly.

I had to decouple a number of these Fields into their own Tables because of the size of the values that is on the page, the page becomes immensely heavy. There had been about 9 new Tables added to JCB, to accommodate this. +I would like to demonstrate how to upgrade to JCB version 2.6.0.
