Dynamically adding form fields using Angular formArray
I have a few form fields and want to add more fields dynamically which is coming from another view(where user can enter the form field type, length and name), I Need to construct form fields using these values.
Some how i have managed to construct one field(textbox name is 'one') but if i try to add another field(textbox name is 'two') getting the following error saying,
ERROR Error: Cannot find control with path: 'newfields -> 0 -> two'

<form [formGroup]="issuerTestCaseFrm">
<div>
<label for="inputName3">Issuer Reference Number: </label>
<input name="lcid" formControlName="IssuerReferenceNumber" required type="tel" class="form-control">
</div>
<div formArrayName="newfields">
<div [formGroupName]="i" *ngFor="let tech of issuerTestCaseFrm.controls.newfields.controls; let i = index">
<div *ngFor="let prop of fieldProps">
<label class="col-sm-2 control-label">{{fields[prop].label}}</label>
<div [ngSwitch]="fields[prop].type">
<input *ngSwitchCase="'text'" [formControlName]="prop">
</div>
