Current repeatable field allows to use the following field types:
Editor
Media
Number
Text
TextArea
A date input helper is missing. The core form field Calendar could be added to the list.
Example use cases: Enter multiple, re-occurring event dates; CV dates like education times, or working locations with time frames.
Type parameter should list a calendar field type to allow input of accurate dates.
BTW, the sub-fields do not allow any further customization. No options can be set. Are there any thoughts on this or any technical approach...? For instance, set the editor to use a certain profile and toolbar; reduce the calendar display options; format the date; etc.

@contiga Sure! Just as long as we make sure to keep it under one field. So let's revamp upon the repeatable field, no need for a separate one :)
I agree
What we really need is not only support for more fields but that you can choose an already existing custom field.
This is going to be fun to document after 4.0.
The repeatable form field was removed. Not the repeatable custom field,
that’s actually subform. But it’s not called subform because “reasons”.

#22446 is actually supporting custom field types. There is no limitation on the nested field types (besides they shouldn't be subforms themselfes, see https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/22446/files#diff-cb0a6f090d20a596a5a809a8d1653294R39 ). What the plugin basically is doing is loading all available field types into the selection. I think I need to write documentation for it, as describing its functionality in GitHub issues seems a bit odd. How would I do that? Just create a new wiki page in the docs and make clear it is for my PR?
Maybe I misunderstood the "already existing custom field" sentence. We really need to work on the word choices... Confusing. I thought you were talking about custom field types (as per, plugins installed from the JED e.g.), not about already existing custom fields

Right yes. The idea is use already existing Custom Fields.
Would make it more easy and also can save some time. Say you need to re-use a custom field in multiple subforms. You create it only once and then you can load it into different subforms/subfields.
What do you think?

To be fair, all Field Types should be added to the list for Repeatable Field (#20243). There is a case use for all of them. So other than Calendar, also List, Radio, Checkboxes, Colour, User, etc, all of them should be available.
And yes, all Fields should also come with with their respective options that they each have. So the maximum length, the filter for text, the editor options for editor, etc.
It should essentially be a SubFields creations inside one Field.
Also, as @woluweb suggested previously, it would be cool to be able to select from already existing fields instead of "creating" one.
Another issue, a Media field should output the img tag like a normal Media Field does, not the image path, not sure why it outputs the image path in the repeatable field.
