 * Hi there,
    I watched your really helpful video and I have a question about Tabbed
   forms:
 * For example, break down the form into tabs: Tab 1 (2 fields with Name and Email),
   Tab 2 (2 fields of How did you find us and Book with us), etc.
 * Is this even possible,? I couldn’t reproduce it by fooling around in back-end!
   The second tab had the ‘+’plus sign to reproduce the 1st tab. But this is not
   what I’d like to achieve.
 * Thanks for letting me know!!!

 * Good eve, thank you for posting back on the forum.

 * no, the tabbed section only repeat the fields lay-out of the initial tab.
 * Tabs are basically the same as tables (where a user can add multiple rows of 
   the same set of fields of the initial row), and were designed so as to be able
   to contain more complex layouts (including tables) which were too complex to 
   fit in a row.
 * **Question:** what’s the reason for the need to setup your form on multiple tabs?
 * I am guessing this is to break down the fields into a logical groups to be filled
   in a sequential step?
 * If so you could still achieve this using either a multi-step form (see this [plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7-multi-step-module/)
   which will work with cf7 forms) or use collapsible rows (jquery ui accordeon)
   which this plugin will allow you to achieve.
 * For the latter, the plugin group collapsible rows so that users can only open
   one section at a time (ie similar to what tabs would do, only allowing to see
   the open row), see [FAQ #10](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-grid-layout/#10.can%20i%20group%20toggled%20sections%20so%20as%20to%20have%20either%2For%20sections%20%3F).

 * Great!
    Thank you so much for your helpful answers. For now, I will keep form
   as is since it’s not of high importance to achieve this tabbed layout, especially
   not with an extra plugin. I was just wondering if I could’ve achieved it as is,
   with just your plugin. I will keep your suggestions though for another project
   in the future!
 * Thanks again..!
