    I thought about using the upcoming grid fieldtype or matrix in a custom module (if possible).

    If it is possible to use either fieldtype in for a CP entry form in a module I am building, what are some of the gotchas?

    I assume I would run into some limitations using those fieldtypes, should I wanted to see what the best practices are for building out a form for the user to use on the control panel side.

    I have predetermined set of fields, I was just entertaining the idea of using grid or matrix because you can add extra rows on the fly, something I could accomplish myself.

    I am leaning toward just building the form without the use of grid/matrix, but wanted to do my homework before diving in.

    Thanks!
