Sounds like you have read the section in the guide on custom items, yes? If not, here is a link to it online:
www.empirisoft.com/medialab/help/custom_items.htm
I think what you are looking for may be this:
Combining this:
Code:
<form method="post">
<ml.wording>
<input name="<ml.varname>">
<input type="submit" value="Continue"">
</form>
With this:
Code:
<form method="post">
Name three good movies:<br><br>
<input name="movies_01"><br>
<input name="movies_02"><br>
<input name="movies_03"><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Continue">
</form>
And getting this:
Code:
<form method="post">
Name three <ml.wording>:<br><br>
<input name="<ml.varname>_01"><br>
<input name="<ml.varname>_02"><br>
<input name="<ml.varname>_03"><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Continue">
</form>
Just make sure you list (v3) as a parameter each time you call the custom item. If that works for you, let me know!
