 * Suppose you want to add meta of “Food Available” to allow restaurants to choose
   which foods they have for sale (German Food, Pizza, etc). I also want to have“
   Services Offered” where tradesmen can select which services they provide (Electrical,
   Landscaping, etc.).
 * I only want to show “Foods Available” on the listing form if they select Category:
   Restaurant, and I only want to show “Services Offered” if they select Category:
   Maintenance.
 * I think this could be accomplished on the front-end with just a little bit of
   javascript.

 * That’s not possible without customization.
 * Or you can use the CPT add-on and have a different form for each, which is how
   the system is designed to work.
 * Having too many custom fields on 1 CPT is not a good idea for scalabiliy.

 * I also like the idea of [@oguruma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oguruma/)!
   Perhaps your developer team could consider this modification for the next plugin
   update, [@paolo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paolo/) ! That would be 
   great!
