Functionality
This has really simplified a large form I have built in terms of updates.
Ease of use
Very easy to use and configure. After reading the documentation it was simple to get working.
Support
I had a question and I emailed the developer. He replied within a couple of hours.
Documentation
It's a very simple plugin, not requiring much explaining, but the documentation was all there.
I used this to: I have one client on whose site I've built a large registration/ form. There are over 100 fields that require updating each year with class dates/times, costs, and names. Now I have a central "repository" (read .ini file) that I can update and the whole form gets the info.
