Perhaps, and this is just some "brain dump" at the moment, you could set up a separate attribute and then use some Ruby to take that imput and split it so that you can save it as separate attributes. I have no idea how you would do this code wise, but having a text field set up as :input and then attr_accesssor :input and then work from there with some Ruby to split at newlines or with some other kind of operator.
