Kind of embarrassed at the solution:<br /><br />Create one global field where it is higher above the schema hierarchy. Use this one variable in the repeating section. It will state contains duplicate data it will still work).<br /><br />The other solution is to just have a question at the top asking what color grass will all of them have. <br /><br />I went with the latter.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1728.aspxTue, 12 Dec 2006 20:51:28 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:1728admot0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1728.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&PostID=1728Let's say I have a field called Grass. This field is inside a repeating section called landscape.<br /><br />In all the repeating sections, Grass must all be the same. If green in one, all the others must be green. If blue, all need to be blue.<br /><br />1) Is there a way to write a rule that sets a fields value where it will modify all of its clones?<br /><br />2) (More importantly) What will the expression be on a data validation where it will check all of its clones? Do I just use some type of global variable/field and have all the clones check this variable?<br /><br />Current field:<br />../../my:Landscape/my:Grass
