 * Hi there,
 * I have a question regarding how this plugin stores its data — In our specific
   case we need to create repeater fields with the listing functionality for a Name,
   Surname & e-mail. These fields need to ‘repeat’ to let’s say a 100 times to enable
   the user to provide us with a list of all e-mail addresses that we need to create
   for them.
 * We need to display the data via GravityView but each repeat(or set of repeats(
   eg. name, surname, e-mail address) must be stored separately so that we can display
   that data with GravityView for a user to edit later on.
 * The list field native to GravityForms stores entries inside a serialized array
   in a single entry in the database — we just wanted to find out if this plugin
   behaves similarly.
 * Kind regards
    Francois Wessels

 * Hey franwess! My plugin actually does store data in a serialized array much like
   the list field does.
 * The unserialized version of the stored array would look much like this:
 *     ```
       Array(
           [1] => Array(
               [3] => Array(
                   [0] => 'value1'
               )
               [4] => Array(
                   [0] => 'value1',
                   [1] => 'value3'
               )
           ),
           [2] => Array(
               [3] => Array(
                   [0] => 'value4'
               )
               [4] => Array(
                   [0] => 'value5',
                   [1] => 'value6'
               )
           ),
       );
       ```
   
 * In the above example, the repeater had 2 fields that were repeated once. The ‘
   3’ and ‘4’ are the field Ids. The field with the id of ‘4’ in this example had
   two inputs. (Like the name field)
 * Let me know if that helps!
 * Thank you!

 * Also note, there may be a slight change in the way the field keys are assigned
   in the near future. I’m talking about
 *     ```
       [0] => 'value5',
       [1] => 'value6'
       ```
   
 * Right now they just start from 0 and increase each field. But in the future I
   think I may have them set up to assign by field key instead.

 * Have you find a way to present data with Gravity view. Please share.
    Thanks
