In my form users are making the decision whether the target audience is for individuals or groups. If individuals then I have a list box with countries popping up, where 1 country can be chosen, if groups - multiple selection list box with multiple countries possible. The issue is I cannot apply the validation rule, where field must be filled, as if 1 one is visible, the other one is hidden. I could not figure this one out, so I also have 2 seperate holding these fields Individual_Country and Group_Country. Is there a way to enforce possibility of choosing max one field on multiple selection list box. Any other ideas?

The two controls require different data types for fields that they must be bound to in order to function correctly.  I think you're stuck with the current design and have to maintain the single field and repeating field for the list box and MSLB controls.

My example

Ah, I understand now - validation rules aren't available for repeating fields! I'm attaching a form with a bit of a work around - save it locally, right click & select design, from there you can look at the logic, preview, etc.

Hi Hilary,

I really liked your solution, I will implement a similar one in my form. One last question:)  I have a repeating table called Retention Payments. This consists of 8 fields, where one is called payment description e.g Payment 1 out of 1, Payment 1 out of 2, Payment 2 out of 2, Payment 1 out of 3, Payment 2 out of 3, Payment 3 out of 3 (this is all possibilities listed). Is there a possibility to embedd following scenario: Have a list of payment descriptions: 1 payment, 2 payments, 3 payments and depending on what was chosen generate either just one row (1 payment), 2 rows (2 payments) or 3 rows - depending on what was chosen - in the repeating table? I am not a programmer, so I am able for solutions that can be utilized by regular users just like me in the browser form:) Any ideas?

Well - it takes custom code (or qRules) to add rows to a repeating table using code.

However, you could include a number of rows by default and based on the user's selection determine how many to display. Look under the Data tab in the ribbon and on the left you'll see a button for Defaults. You can insert multiple instances of a repeating node - so you could always have 3 and then decide how many to display based on the user's selection. Make sense?

It makes sense:) Thank you!
