Add Form Fields Dynamically -- ReactJs

Question

My requirement is to add form fields dynamically. I am able to add form group dynamically on click of button +Add Heading.

In that form group, I have a button +Add Content on click of which a new input element should be added to the group.

I am able to modify the JSON accordingly and logging the same and updating the state. but my view is not rendering as expected.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Answering my own question for ones who might come across such scenarios.

Update my stackblitz : https://stackblitz.com/edit/react-utjwsu?embed=1&file=index.js

Instead of rendering all content field i was trying to render only one.

/Code goes here/

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
import { Form, FormGroup, Label, Progress,Button } from 'reactstrap';
import Hello from './Hello';
import './style.css';


const byPropKey = (propertyName, value) => () => ({
    [propertyName]: value,
  });
class App extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      name: 'React',
      Information:'',
      ImageUrl:'',
      isUploading: false,
      isUploaded: true,
      showProgress: false,
      progress: 0,
      avatarUrl:'',
      ref:'WhitePapersItems',
      formValid: false,
      content: [{Heading: "", Content: [{value:""}]}]
    };

        this.AddContentBox = this.AddContentBox.bind(this);
        this.AddContentInput = this.AddContentInput.bind(this);
        //this.addContentTextBox = this.addContentTextBox.bind(this);
  }

  AddContentInputFields(element) {
    return element.Content.map(content => {
      return (
        <FormGroup>
          <Label className="set-label-pos upload-img" for="Heading">Content</Label>
          <input className="form-control" type="text"/>
        </FormGroup>
      );
    })
  }

  AddContentBox(){
        return this.state.content.map((element,i)=>(
            <div className="header-content" key={i} >
                <div className="heading-content-wrapper">
                <FormGroup>
                <Label className="set-label-pos upload-img" for="Heading">Heading</Label>

    const { Heading, value } = e.target;
      let content = [...this.state.content];
      content[i] = {...content[i], [Heading]: value};
      this.setState({ content });
   }

   AddContentInput(index, val){
        console.log('Add ContentInput triggered',val,index);       
        const contents = _.cloneDeep(this.state.content);
        contents[index].Content.push({value:''});

        const item = contents[index].Content;
        console.log('item', item);
        this.setState({content:contents});

    //    ));
    // }
