Is it possible to nest repeater fields? I tried drag and drop and that won't work. Is there any sort of customization that would allow for this. Here is a visual of what I am trying to accomplish: https://www.loom.com/share/Formidable-or-Forms-Rbundle-WordPress-13-September-2023-13800a80171b48aaaa3ff33300ae1cba?sid=67804de9-cb14-45be-9f98-cbe180767dff

A repeater field is not actually a field. It is an embedded form. Each row is an individual entry. Repeaters cannot be nested.

If i using repeaters in forms for exampe : repeater A : i enetered text "ALPHA" , repeater B: i enetered text "BETA" and repeater C: i enetered text "OMEGA" after submit and checked in views.. the entered text are in same rows like alpha,beta,omega.. i want that in individual row...

Let me drill down on this a little to make sure we have the same understanding about your issue. A repeater field is an embedded form. When you add fields to a repeater your are dataset for every entry to follow. Every row is one repeater field form entry.

There are a couple of reasons you might repeater data displayed as alpha,beta,omega, especially when testing a view. Because repeater fields are forms, you have to loop through the to display the HTML has you want to appear.
