Okay, mine is not possible with flexforms, but with the regular TCEforms
on using $TCA.

Maybe I'd like to go out, run around and scream loudly. But I don't do
that, because it's goofy. ;)
I searched the TYPO3.org page and Google before starting with my
extension and found nothing suitable - of course I looked for something
with the word "dynamic". Perhaps we should build up a thesaurus, a
dictionary or whatever to make sure, that we talk about the same in
future. An option could also be to insert some explaining keywords to
the TER description.

So if I got it right, the "dynamic fields" or "repeatable content
element" are created in your extension by clicking the save-button. So
if you want to create 10 new elements, you have to save 10 times, don't
you? So you don't use ajax or technics like that?

So summarize, kb_tca_section brings dynamic to flexforms using TCA
tables, dynaflex brings dynamic to flexforms and dynbeedit brings
dynamic to regular TCEforms using TCE tables and xajax.
So is there a way to put these three things together in a "strategy"?
