Smart multi-row is a new addition to ConfiForms field types and "smart fields" family in particular. This field type enables you to create master-details forms much easier than before.
It has been introduced as beta in 2.21.1 - Release Notes#Version2.21.1 and as 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"
And another form that we want to use as a database to store our tests - "testsForm"
