<p>I'm trying to add more textfields to a bean form using an "Add More" button with an ajax callback to keep adding textfields to the fieldset.</p>
<p>Watching the ajax response in Chrome's Network tab, it doesn't contain the markup to replace the contents of fieldset-add-more-wrapper. I'm wondering if this is even possible with a bean form?</p>
