How do I evaluate the first field of a repeating table to another field not in the Repeating Table when the data in the first field of the repeating table changes? If they are not equal I want to set another field (status) to say they are not equal.
You need to set an action rule on the repeating field that says:
Condition - if repeating field is not equal to other field
Action - set a field's value status = newstatus
Hope this helps!
You can do this with a condition that a count of the preceding-sibling nodes = 0. See attached sample - right click the link in the heading of this post, save the file locally. Right click the saved file and select design to open in design mode. From there, preview.
