I have been researching and attempting other solutions to this issue, and I know it has been answered in the past, but I wanted to share the solution I came up with.
I created a dual approach for this, which includes allocating one of the fields in the repeat table to be an autonumber field, then placing a rule on the entire repeat table, that if 'NumberingField' = (max number of rows #), then do not allow users to enter new row checkbox. This is a simple way to do this without having to export and change the maxoccure.
When creating repeating table, allocate a column for ‘auto number’ ; make the field a calculated field (Field1 as Example), and use this rule in the field: count(preceding-sibling::*) + 1
Create a format rule on the entire repeating table, and then put condition that ‘Field1 = 4 (The Max # of Lines that i wanted as example.)
Choose control ‘Don’t allow users to insert or delete this control’
People can add up to the maximum you want, then trying to click the button, it just won’t let them add.
