Besides that, we actually developed a custom integration with Fabrik for a local client of ours in order to do complex forms with lists of elements, etc. But since that's really specific it's hard to make anything generic. You can see the result here: [ www.danialu.fr/component/fabrik/form/10](https://www.danialu.fr/component/fabrik/form/10) What I mean is that if you need a complex solution, a custom development is always possible to implement complex forms.
