add another layer of Edit boxes Button

I would like to create an add in that compares different Sampling Plans using the OC curves. I would like to allow the user to add many input layers/Lines using an "Add more" button. (See picture below)

Therefore

The part of my script that I am focused on is:

ob1 = Outline Box( "Type in your own parameter values", 
			 H List Box(
				H List Box( Text Box( "LQ:" , << set width(20)), neb_LQ = Number Edit Box(LQ, << set function(_expr) )),
				Spacer box(Size(20,20)),
				H List Box( Text Box( "Batch size (N):" , << set width(80)), neb_N = Number Edit Box(N_batch , << set function(_expr))),
				Spacer box(Size(20,20)),
				//H List Box( Text Box( "LQ:" , << set width(20)), neb_LQ = Number Edit Box(LQ, << set function(_expr) )),
				//Spacer box(Size(20,20)),
				H List Box( Text Box( "Acceptance limit (Ac):" , << set width(120)), neb_Ac = Number Edit Box(Ac, << set function(_expr))),
				Spacer box(Size(20,20)),
				H List Box( Text Box( "Alpha:" , << set width(120)), neb_alpha = Number Edit Box(alpha, << set function(_expr)))
			)		
		),
	);
	// collapse the outline boxes
	Button Box( "Press Me",ADD_button() )

Do you have any advice of a smart way to implement the above?

What should happen when the user presses "Add more" button? Some new elements should be created? What should those elements do? Are those functionalities already implemented in such a way, that they work with any number of elements?

Just create another line that the user will be able to import a second LQ, N, Ac, and Alpha value and saves them in a list so that I can then use the values to plot multiple OC curves.

This is very quickly thrown together

Names Default To Here(1);

lub_expr = Expr(ob1 << Append(Lineup Box(N Col(8), Spacing(10),
	Text Box("LQ:", <<set width(20)), 
	Number Edit Box(1, <<set function(_expr)),
	Text Box("Batch size (N):", <<set width(80)), 
	Number Edit Box(1, <<set function(_expr)),
	Text Box("Acceptance limit (Ac):", <<set width(120)), 
	Number Edit Box(1, <<set function(_expr)),
	Text Box("Alpha:", <<set width(120)), 
	Number Edit Box(1, <<set function(_expr))
)));
nw = New Window("",
	ob1 = Outline Box("Type in your own parameter values",
		
	),
	Button Box("Press Me", lub_expr)
);

Using Table Box with Col boxes could result in cleaner UI

An alternative approach would use a Table Box with Number Col Edit Box and String Col Edit Box elements. You can easily add a row to a table box.
