tabs feature request: limit, label count, selective deletion

I didn’t see these in your github to-do list, so…

I know the data-max attribute limits table row additions. I tried it with tabs and it didn’t work (unless I didn’t put it in the right place), so I assume you haven’t addressed this yet. It would be helpful.

Also, it would be helpful to allow the user to delete any tab at will, rather than only being able to delete the last tab. Let’s say a user fills out 5 tabs of data then changes their mind and decides they don’t actually want to submit the data in tab 3. Currently, the user must delete tabs 5 & 4 just to be able to delete tab 3, forcing them to re-enter all the data in tabs 4 & 5, which they wanted to retain. For complex tabs with many fields, this is a time waster and can be annoying for the user. This function would obviously require auto-renumbering/labeling all tabs to account for the shifting.

Speaking of labels, to add aesthetic polish, you could append “1” to the first tab’s label when the user adds tabs — e.g., Item 1, Item 2, Item 3 looks better than Item, Item (2), Item (3). When there’s only a single tab, either due to lack of the user adding tabs or deleting all other tabs, the basic label “Item” looks just fine.

Tabs are very helpful where there is a lot of field repetition. It really compacts the form and makes it look pro. The above added functionality would improve aesthetics, usability and, consequently, the end user experience.
