In another form, I use the delete command in a repeating table, and it automatically just deletes the row that the button that runs the command is in.

However, in this form, I have the same button in a repeating section, and it deltes the whole section (IE, mulitiple sections if they have been added).  Is there a way to filter it just to delete the current section?

What are you setting the command field to in your rule? Click the Edit XPath checkbox prior to copying and pasting.

This is what I'm using

Delete /xpath=/my:myFields/my:Venues/my:VenueRepeatingSection

It deletes every instance of my repeating section.

I would presume you have something similar to this in your other form as well, but the expression would be something like:

concat("Delete /xpath=/my:myFields/my:Venues/my:VenueRepeatingSection[", count(preceding-sibling::my:VenueRepeatingSection) + 1, "]")

No, I don't have that in my other form.  Does it have something to do with the other form being a repeating table, not a section? 

Thanks for that.  I will give it a whirl. 

What's the formula in your other form like? It doesn't matter if you have a repeating section control or a repeating table control bound to your repeating group - the underlying data structure would be the same.

The formula just consists of the delete command with the xpath to the repeating table.  Wierd.

Another question.  Now that the delete works (thanks), how do I format that button to be disabled if there is no second section present?  IE, I don't want users to delete the only section existing in the form.

In the conditional formatting, try the expression:

count(following-sibling::my:VenueRepeatingSection) = 0

That disables it permanently, no matter how many sections are added. 

Sorry - how about:

count(my:myFields/my:Venues/my:VenueRepeatingSection) = 1

Just count all instances and if there is only one, disable.

Thanks,

 I got it to work with - count(../my:VenueRepeatingSection) = 1

 Now I have to figure out how to disable a button if a following section is present.

In other words, you want the button to only be enabled on the last section?  If so, I believe the expression would be:

count(following-sibling::my:VenueRepeatingSection) != 0

Yes!  That's great!  I'm learning a lot about the siblings these days.
