I often create many fields that are associated with each other, like the columns in a spreadsheet.

 

In addition to putting all the associated fields in a grid, it seems helpful to make them all subfields of a parent field, so that the data can be filled in using the All Fields section of the Properties pane, Tree view.

 

The only way I've found to create a field is from the Manage Fields dialog, and the new field appears at the bottom of the list of existing fields.  From there I have to drag each new field one at a time to the desired parent field.  When I do so, the field tree collapses, and I have to re-navigate to the desired parent field before I can drag another field from the Manage Fields dialog to that parent field.

 

Is there any easier way to do this?

 

I think there used to be a box to fill in the Parent Field ID, which was handy for this purpose.

 

Ideally, in the All Fields section, in the context menu for each field, there would be "Add Child Field", "Add Sibling Field Below", "Add Sibling Field Above" options.
