Fields Added Via Javascript not posting Data into $POST

I have created a form which can be dynamically changed using the buttons included. These buttons allow for more input fields to be added/removed. The issue is that the input fields created are not posting any data/ Values in those fields not being added to the $POST array on the submit of the form.
The main functions below resposible for adding and removing rows is RemoveRows() and addRows()
What should happen is that on submit all values in the form should be "posted" then I can access all of those fields via $_POST["nameOfField"].
The way I have currently approached this is to create an input fields with the relevant id's and names then append that field to where the "hard coded" fields exists.
From my initial debugging none of the fields that have been added via javascript are in $Post which I have checked via var_dump($_REQUEST);
I have also seen that the nodes that are added are not elements of the form tag even though the nodes are added between the opening and closing tag. This can be seen in the doBeforeSubmit() Function where we can see all elements that are children of the and this never changes as rows are added/removed.

PHP:
<?php
var_dump($_REQUEST)
?>
UPDATE:
The code has been changed to use a php array by adding square brackets into the name which produces the following html:
<input type="text" id="partNum0" class="form-control" name="partNum[]">
<input type="text" id="partNum1" name="partNum[]" class="form-control">
<input type="text" id="partNum2" name="partNum[]" class="form-control">

You just need to use the name property of the input and add [] at the end, as GrumpyCrouton said. PHP parse it as an array, and you can access it as:
$partNum = $_POST["partNum"];

FIXED: It turns out the above code did not have any issues with the logic or the way it should work, in the source code in visual studio the indentation of some of the Divs was off causing the browser to have issues in rendering the form correctly hence why the added boxes were not included in the form and their values not POSTED.
As a heads up to anyone with maybe a similar issue, it pays to have your code neat.

How to change the value of a previous check box that has been selected in JQuery?

Here is what I'm trying to do.
I have the ability to create a form when there is an option to create one in Javascript.
Here is an option to add an address:
<i class="fas fa-plus-circle"></i> <span class="newUrlText">add new address
Here is the form in question:
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="new-address-1-%ID%" name="new-address-1-%ID%" placeholder="Address Line 1">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="new-address-2-%ID%" name="new-address-2-%ID%"
placeholder="Address Line 2">
<label for="message" class="control-label"><span class="billable-text"><?php _e('Primary Address'); ?></span></label>
<label class="switch" for="primary-%ID%" style="margin-left: 10px;top: 10px;">
<input type="checkbox" class="primary-%ID%" name="primary-%ID%" id="primary-%ID%" />
<div class="slider round gray"></div>
</label>
Here is the javascript that generates the form:
<script language="javascript">
var newAddressIndex = 1;
var addressarray = [];
function addNewAddress() {
var container = getElement("addressContainer");
addressarray.push(newAddressIndex);
var htmlAddress = '<?php echo addslashes(App_String::stripBreaksTabsMultipleWhitespace($newAddress)); ?>';
htmlAddress = htmlAddress.replace(/%ID%/g, newAddressIndex);
var node = document.createElement("div");
node.innerHTML = htmlAddress;
container.appendChild(node);
$('#newAddressCount_'+newAssetIndex).val(newAssetIndex);
++newAddressIndex;
test(addressarray);
}
What I'm trying to do is the following:
If the user selects the checkbox and then decides to select the next checkbox, I would like to change the previous checkbox from selected to no selected.
How would I go about doing that?
Thank you

I found a solution:
What I did was, that I created a function to get the current value of the checkboxes like this:
getAddrValue(addressarray);
Then within the function the follwoing:
function getAddrValue (addressarray) {
$('#primary-'+index).change(function() {
var checked = this.checked ? 1 : 0;
prevCheckbox = index-1;
if (checked == 1) {
if (document.getElementById('primary-'+prevCheckbox) !== null ) {
let inputs = document.getElementById('primary-'+prevCheckbox);
inputs.checked = false;
}
}
});
}

Launching a new window and filling form values using Javascript

I have been learning JavaScript and i am attempting to launch a new window on click after a user has placed info into a form fields and then placing that info into form fields in the newly launched window. I have read many posts and methods in Stackoverflow however i cant seem to get it to work properly.
Starting page HTML:
<form id="memCat" methed="get" class="member_catalogue">
<button type="submit" class="prodBtn" id="catOrder" onclick="openMemberOrder()"><img class="prodImg" src="../../../Images/bcpot002_thumb.jpg" name="Red Bowl"></button>
<div class="cat_block">
<label class="cat_label" for="cat_name">Product Name:</label>
<input class="cat_input" type="text" id="catID" value="bepot002" readonly>
</div>
<div class="cat_block">
<label class="cat_label" for="cat_description">Product Description:</label>
<input class="cat_input" type="text" id="catDesc" value="Ocre Red Pot" readonly>
</div>
<div class="cat_block">
<label class="cat_label" for="cat_price">Per unit price:$</label>
<input class="cat_input" type="number" id="catVal" value="10" readonly>
</div>
</form>
New page HTML:
<form id="memOrder" method="post">
<div>
<label for="pname">Product Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="orderID" readonly>
</div>
<div>
<label for="pdescription">Product Description:</label>
<input type="text" id="orderDesc" readonly>
</div>
<div>
<label for="quantity">Quantity ordered:</label>
<input type="number" class="quantOrder" id="orderOrder" value="1" min="1" max="10">
</div>
<div>
<label for="ind_price">Per unit price: $</label>
<input type="number" class="quantCount" id="orderVal" readonly>
</div>
<div>
<label for="tot_price">Total Price: $</label>
<input type="number" class="quantCount" id="orderTotal" readonly>
</div>
<div>
<button type="reset">Clear Order</button>
<button type="submit" id="orderCalc">Calculate Total</button>
<button type="submit" id="orderPlace">Place Order</button>
</div>
</form>
Script i have to date:
function openMemberOrder() {
document.getElementById("orderID").value = document.getElementById("catID").document.getElementsByTagName("value");
document.getElementById("orderDesc").value = document.getElementById("catDesc").document.getElementsByTagName("value");
document.getElementById("orderVal").value = document.getElementById("catVal").document.getElementsByTagName("value");
memberOrderWindow = window.open('Member_Orders/members_order.html','_blank','width=1000,height=1000');
};
script and other meta tags in head are correct as other code is working correctly.

So after much trial and error i have had success with this:
On the submission page:
1. I created a button on the page that will capture the input form data
2. i created the localstorage function in JS
3. I then placed the script tag at the bottom of the page before the closing body tag
HTML
<button type="submit" class="prodBtn" id="catOrder" onclick="openMemberOrder()"><img class="prodImg" src="../../../Images/bcpot002/bcpot002_thumb.jpg" name="Red Bowl"></button>
Javascript
var catID = document.getElementById("catID").value;
var catDesc = document.getElementById("catDesc").value;
var catVal = document.getElementById("catVal").value;
function openMemberOrder() {
var memberOrderWindow;
localStorage.setItem("catID", document.getElementById("catID").value);
localStorage.setItem("catDesc", document.getElementById("catDesc").value);
localStorage.setItem("catVal", document.getElementById("catVal").value);
memberOrderWindow = window.open('Member_Orders/members_order.html', '_blank', 'width=1240px,height=1050px,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no');
} ;
Script Tag
<script type="text/javascript" src="../../../JS/catOrder.js"></script>
I then created the new page with the following javascript in the header loading both an image grid as well as input element values:
var urlArray = [];
var urlStart = '<img src=\'../../../../Images/';
var urlMid = '_r';
var urlEnd = '.jpg\'>';
var ID = localStorage.getItem('catID');
for (var rowN=1; rowN<5; rowN++) {
for (var colN = 1; colN < 6; colN++){
urlArray.push(urlStart + ID + '/' + ID + urlMid + rowN + '_c' + colN + urlEnd)
}
}
window.onload = function urlLoad(){
document.getElementById('gridContainer').innerHTML = urlArray;
document.getElementById('orderID').setAttribute('value', localStorage.getItem('catID'));
document.getElementById('orderDesc').setAttribute('value', localStorage.getItem('catDesc'));
document.getElementById('orderVal').setAttribute('value', localStorage.getItem('catVal'));
};
I then created 2 buttons to calculate a total based on inputs and clearing values separately, the script for this was placed at the bottom of the page.
function total() {
var Quantity = document.getElementById('orderQuant').value;
var Value = document.getElementById('orderVal').value;
var Total = Quantity * Value;
document.getElementById('orderTotal').value = Total;
}
function clearForm() {
var i = 0;
var j = 0;
document.getElementById('orderQuant').value = i;
document.getElementById('orderTotal').value = j;
}

create textboxes and Insert data at page loading

I would like to know how can I create textboxes and insert data at page load.
What I'm trying to do is open an array string from a database, create the textboxes and populate the textboxes at page load.
I have an array string from an ms sql database that looks something like this
test,test;bla;bla2;test44;test55;test66
I separated each individual array with ; and I would like to create textboxes and insert the values into a textbox, one-by-one, so the end result would look like this:
I don't know how to do it using the code below.
Whatever I try I mess up the add/remove functions or I end up cloning all textboxes when the plus button is clicked.
THANKS

Here's what I changed to your code :
Changed the template which was a <script> to a <div>, and hid it by default using style="display: none;" :
<div id="template_add_form" type="text/template" style="display: none;">
Initialized array empty, so that we can put our own first line : formArray = [ ],
Created a function to add a string in the form :
var addToForm = function (stringValue) {
values = stringValue.split(";");
for (var i = 0; i < values.length; i+=3) {
var newLine = clone($template);
var fields = newLine.find('.form-control');
var toAdd = Math.min(values.length-i, 3);
for (var j = 0; j < toAdd; j++) {
fields[j].value = values[i+j];
}
formArray.push(newLine);
}
}
At the end, I added some example data, then pushed an empty line and updated the form :
addToForm("2;3;4;5;6;7");
formArray.push(clone($template));
updateForm();
EDIT : I also deleted the template div at the end so that it isn't taken into the form when you submit :
$('#template_add_form').remove();
To be able to do that, I cloned it entirely at start :
$template = $('<div>').addClass("entry input-group col-xs-9").append(clone($('#template_add_form'))),

js
var i = 0;
var original = document.getElementById('duplicater');
function duplicate() {
var clone = original.cloneNode(true); // "deep" clone
clone.id = "duplicetor" + ++i; // there can only be one element with an ID
original.parentNode.appendChild(clone);
}
here i want the new fields when added should be empty (right now it is showing the same content with pre filled values in textbox )
second issue is i want to insert the data in table for each value of the array i know this can be donr by foreach loop
PHP
$comps=$_POST['comp'];
$profile=$_POST['profile'];
$exedate=$_POST['exedate'];
$exsdate=$_POST['exsdate'];
$dept=$_POST['dept'];
if(empty($comps) || empty($profile) || empty($exedate) || empty($exsdate) || empty($dept) ){
echo 'Please Fill all the fields marked with *';die;
}
foreach($comps as $value){
// insert into tablename (field1,field2,field3,...) values ('comp1','dep1','profile1'....)
// insert as many feilds as the no of elements in the array
}
please suggest me with this php code how to use the foreach loop so that i can insert as many rows as the no of elements in the array with corrosponging values in another array
pleaes note that this question has two questions written please feel free to help for any of the question.
one is wth php and anothr with ajax
