Is It Possible To Duplicate a Field Group If a Button Or Checkbox Is Pressed?

I’m trying to duplicate a set of fields either within a field group or duplicate the field group itself if a user presses a button or clicks a checkbox.

In this case, the user is setting up their profile and has the fields for the group Company Info entered, yet they have another company name and/or location they want to add to their profile.

Is it possible to have a button or a conditional checkbox that duplicates an empty set of fields for the group to Company Info 2?

UX ideal example: Profile > User Fills out Company Info 1 field group > Presses “Add Company” button > Company Info 2 field group is added > User Fills out Company Info 2 > Repeat until desired

If you are creating new custom post types then you can just add the same field group to the new post types. Fields can have the same names when used on different post types.

If I understand what you doing though, I’d probably set up a custom taxonomy of location for the custom post type, then you can create separate lists for each location and only need to add one more template file to your theme “taxonomy-location.php”
