Potential issues:

Nested complex fields with modal layouts will need to "stack" the modals
Validation should probably need to happen on blur rather than on submit

I find this one very important.
Since we have a lot of content sections in one complex field (as multiple groups) I would also love to have a modal for adding sections (multiple groups).

The modal could contain Tabs as Categories (e.g. Content, Conversations, Galleries, ...) and then list the sections available. Inspired by Visual Composers backend modals:

Thanks for taking this into consideration!

Here's an idea how nested modals could work:

I agree that validation needs to happen on blur for this layout option.

This would be killer awesome, but would be nice to have the option for the modal via a method or config option so we could define whether to load in a modal.
