Unknown Input Field for Parameter

I have a request from one of my users that they be able to "add" another custom field or two to a report on the fly. They would define the name in a text field and the other two fields would be number values that would be added to a calculated sum value.

Would I have to ask for the parameters for the unknown text and data or is there a way that they click on a + sign like on various websites to "add a new record" so to speak. If there is no data, I'd like to suppress the field so it doesn't show up on the report.
 
Ignore this as it was as I pointed out. If you create a parameter and set it to text, the user can create a "new" name within the report and enter in quantity for the other parameter fields.

To suppress them, right click on them all and set a condition that if null to suppress.
