Is there anyway I can do a for loop to create multiple textfields. Say I want like 20 text fields...do I have to create them individually?

It's not really clear what your question is. Just write a for loop and create each TextField inside it.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.ScrollPane;
import javafx.scene.control.TextField;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class TwentyTextFields extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
final int numTextFields = 20 ;
TextField[] textFields = new TextField[numTextFields];
VBox root = new VBox(5);
for (int i = 1; i <= numTextFields; i++) {
TextField tf = new TextField();
String name = "Text field "+i ;
tf.setOnAction(e -> {
System.out.println("Action on "+name+": text is "+tf.getText());
});
root.getChildren().add(tf);
textFields[i-1] = tf ;
}
Scene scene = new Scene(new ScrollPane(root), 250, 600);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
forloop and create the text fields inside it. It's not really clear what the question is.
