First and foremost, FormBuilder doesn't support elements with [ or ]
in their names, Second, FormBuilder builds forms for DB_DataObjects
and I've never seen a field name in a DB with [ or ] in it.
Third, what you're building here looks like a tripleLink. I suggest
you look more into that. The Audio Formats element on th epage below
is a tripleLink:

You can get an example here:
