Can EE do this… I have some food product pages that require nutritional data for each product. This data requires lots of fields. I want to add this data as needed as a separate child page of a product. Instead of it showing on it’s own page, the content is embedded and shown on it’s parent. Is this doable without any extra coding, and would it be easy to do for a non-techie when adding new products.

Another way to see this is that I want content on a page to be added via different forms at different times.

I don’t need to know how it’s done, just if it can be done.

Yes, quite easily.  You could use URL segments to set it up and show only the custom fields you want to on each separate page.

Hi, Kevo - welcome to the forums!  As Bluestrike2 said, this can be done extremely easily.  The concept is similar to a more page, only with the data that you’ve set up and populated, using the custom fields you’ve created.

So the brief answer then would be “yes, that can be done.” =)

Thank you both, that’s what I needed to know for an upcoming project.
