It has been introduced as beta in 2.21.1 - Release Notes#Version2.21.1 and as a GA in version 2.24.7 - Release Notes#Version2.24.7

As with all the "smart" fields in ConfiForms this field is about linking forms together, but with one important difference - it allows you to ADD new records into the referenced form directly and in "one go"

Here is what we mean

Consider a simple form with 2 fields named "participantsForm"

Name (text) - required
Mark (numeric)

And another form that we want to use as a database to store our tests - "testsForm"

This form will have 3 fields:

Test name (text) - required
Test document (file) - required
Participants (smart multi-row linked to "participantsForm" form)

This will allow us to manage data in "participantsForm" by filling in the form in "testsForm". See below

Which will be stored in the "participantsForm" for us automatically and also conveniently rendered for us through the "testsForm" form

You may use ANY number of fields for your ConfiForms Smart multi-row - and any field type, except another "smart multi-row" field. (In other words - no nesting of "smart multi-row" fields is supported at the moment)
