usually you have the counting part in the middle or the end:
$form->input('NodeDescriptor.'.$count.'.title');
or
$form->input('NodeDescriptor.title.'.$count);
this way you can properly iterate over it - depending on what you need
to achieve (multiple or singular input)
foreach ($this->data[NodeDescriptor] as $key => $value) {}
or
foreach ($this->data[NodeDescriptor]['title] as $key => $title) {}
i prefer the second way
