For a site I'm working on I have a functionality in mind that I simply cannot wrap my head around as to how I would set it up. When creating content of a specific content type I want to have the option to select multiple items using checkboxes from a list of about 30 items, and have the option to add a short piece of text (less than 20 characters) to each of these items if I want to.

Currently I have no real idea on how to set this up. I'm planning on adding the 30 or so items to a vocabulary so I can easily reference them, but how would I be able to select these items and add the piece of text so it's linked to these items as well?

Basically what I'm looking for is the following: enter image description here

I hope someone is able to shed some light on this for me, any help is appreciated.

    Have a look at the Double Field module – Krishna Mohan Jun 24 '15 at 10:08
  • I just tried out the Double Field module but sadly that only offers entry for 1 item using a select field or checkbox. I want to be able to select multiple items from my list of terms. I expanded my original question with more information and an image to better show what I'm looking for. – Sander van't Veer Jun 24 '15 at 10:31
  • Additionally You can use Field Group module to make all of them under a roof. – Krishna Mohan Jun 24 '15 at 10:39
  • That might be what I end up doing if I can't find a proper solution. I was hoping I wouldn't have to add 30 Double Fields as that's going to be a mess to maintain. Thanks for the help though! If anyone else can pitch in feel free to do so. – Sander van't Veer Jun 24 '15 at 11:18

As far as I know you can achieve that in two ways.

Using the combination of Double Field and Field group modules.

Use "Double field" for to make list of checkbox and textfields, and Field Group to make all of them a Group.

There is another option to achieve this. Try the Composed Field module

Composed Field is an implementation of core's Field UI that allows you to split a single field into as many sub-fields as you like.

This seems very close to your requirement. I've used this one of my project and working fine.
