First was to create a shared .yml configuration file and include it into the others via the `load_config_file` directive. When I wanted something a little more intelligent/configurable I created a custom Element that extends Element::Multi and creates the wanted sub-fields `after process`. This custom element and it's configuration is included in the *.yml for the form. I found creating the fields in the controller makes it more difficult to set and check constraints, perform CSS styling based on class name (element FOO wants class foo not text), etc. regards, Rod
