Hi there. I'm developing an extending plugin for JKShop to add the possibility to add Properties and Options to the Products. It's all done except I now have to extend the backend form to also show the options. This is how the product_json (jsonable) looks like:

[{
    "product_id":1,
    "quantity":3,
    "options":{
        "size":"XX-large",
        "name":"Hamberg",
        "number":"5"
    },
    "total_price_without_tax":1437.6,
    "total_tax":359.4,
    "total_price":1797
}]

Notice that it's possible though my plugin to add any property and option you want to. In this case I've added three different properties: size, name and number, where size have a couple of different options to it. The other two properties are just textfields. So the solution must work with any type of properties, no hard coding of names.

This is however represented in the backend form with this:

products_json:
            type: repeater
            form:
                fields:
                    product_id:
                        label: 'Product id'
                        type: dropdown
                        options: getProductOptions

                    quantity:
                        label: Quantity
                        type: number

                    total_price_without_tax:
                        label: 'Price without tax'
                        type: number

                    total_tax:
                        label: 'Total tax'
                        type: number

                    total_price:
                        label: 'Total price'
                        type: number

So... now to the question. If i try adding another repeater like this, inside the other:

                    options:
                        label: Options
                        type: repeater
                        form:
                            fields:
                                type: text

The tree looks okay, and the number of fields are the same as the number of options, but the text fields are empty, no label and if i update the form, the options are overwritten with nada. What I really want to be able to do is this:

                    options:
                        label: Options
                        type: repeater
                        form:
                            fields:
                                label: key
                                type: text
                                valueFrom: value

But if I try that it asks me for the key and value partials... So... To my question: How to do this?

The best solution would be to list the options like separate fields. But even showing all the options as a json-string in a textfield would work for now. As long as the json-string in the database gets stored correctly
