I have created a component, the new request is to add 3 or 4 of those components within a container. I understand I can just add a column control component and add the children as needed but the request is to go beyond that and add the children as the column control is updated. For example if you change the number of children to 3 the container will automatically add 3 of the original components that were created and so forth.
I have started working extending the Column Control - Sightly component and how I would like to add the children without having to manually add those.
The standard approach for inserting a varying number of components, is to include the Paragraph System Component (parsys), and then let the author insert the components he or she needs (can be limited to allow only specific components).
Or is there a specific requirement that you need to be able to specify the number of components beforehand?
