[Request] Force number of clones

Hi,

Yes, you can do that by specified the std value. This code will set the 3 inputs (clones):

array(
    'type' => 'text',
    'id' => 'test',
    'clone' => true,
    'max_clone' => 3,
    'std' => array( '', '', '' ) // Default values for 3 clones
)

If you need to make for groups, you can set std as array of arrays of default values for sub fields, like:

$default_for_group = array( '', '', '' ); // sub field 1, 2, 3
'std' => array( $default_for_group, $default_for_group, $default_for_group ),

To prevent users from removing clones, you can hide them with CSS. A simple trick is adding a custom_html field to output styles, like this:

array(
    'type' => 'custom_html',
    'std' => '<style>.rwmb-group-wrapper .remove-clone { display: none; }</style>
)

You might want to add custom class to your group fields, so the CSS selector is more specific.
