    Repeating Section Issues

    Hello all! I hope you are doing well.

     

    I am having two issues with repeating sections that I would love your help on.

     

    Issue 1:

    I have a simple form that has 2 repeating sections (call them boys and girls). I then have a third field that adds the value of the repeating fields together. This works just fine, but I can not get it to function exactly as I would like.

     The objective is to have it so that when I click on  "insert item" under the "boy" repeating section, the "total" field should count both of the "boy" fields.

     

     When I set all 3 sections to repeating, inserting an item in either the "boy" or "girl" area created a second field under "total", so I ended up with two totals instead of just one.

     

    When I make the total field a non repeating field outside of the repeating section, it only counted the number in the first "boy" and first "girl" fields. It completely ignored everything else. 

     

     

     

    Issue 2: I can not seem to edit the height of a repeating section.  When I try to drag it and re-size it, like I can for the width, nothing happens. When I manually try to adjust the size in the settings, by pixels, nothing happens there either. The number changes and saves, but it still looks the same size. Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

     

     

    Thank you for any help you can provide!

    James

     Hi James,

    Issue 1:
    Are you attempting to count the total of both sections? Boys + Girls? Create a field outside both repeating sections and set its default value to count(boys) + count(girls) screenshot attached.

    Issue 2:
    There are 3 lines of white space inside the repeating section, you can delete 2 of them, there must be at least 1 line in there for whatever the repeating section is used for.

    Hope this helps?

    Cheers
