Dear Ms. Hilary, Could you please help me this issue: - Currently, I have repeating table and Repeating Section. - Repeating Section is getting data from Repating Table. It works well. However, can I groups same data in Repeating Section. Ex: In attached photo, you can see Submary of Charge table. I am using Repeating Section. Can I group TPMI-G&A = 40 in 1 line? Thank for your support

Try this one - I changed it from defaults to rules. Maybe it will behave better. Right click the linked file and save locally. Right click the local file and select design to open in designer. Then you can publish and see how it goes - I've published to my site, so you'll have to walk through the publishing process again.

Dear Ms Hilary, As you can see , I have 2 section 1. Repeating Table 2. Repeating Section. Ex: If I insert 3 row on Repeating table. it will automatic copy the same data as Repeating Section. Problem is: when i input data in line 1. It will auto copy to Repeating Section with 3 row at the same value. It works with Offline, but when i public online, it will be problem. Please see attached photo

Hilary Stoupa:
If you are using default values, you may want to deselect the option to refresh the default if the values involved change (in the field properties). If this doesn't give the result you want, you may want to use rules instead of default values.

Hi, Can you please help to check this form. As I try to do it many ways to get seperate data, but it not work

Hi Hilary,

I didn't notice this until now, but when I change the value of the actual field in the 2nd repeating table, save it, then reopen the form, the actual value reverts back to the estimated value. Oops. Any ideas on how to make it stick?.

I found my answer in a post by Hilary. I was setting checkbox control to "TRUE" when it should be a function "true()" instead. Very simple. Her example was all I needed to see.

Thank you Jimmy for your replies. I appreciate your persistence with me.

You said you're using a default value formula to have some textbox values match the values of other fields. You can do the same thing with these checkbox fields; you just need to do it in the fields' property dialog rather than the checkbox controls' property dialog.

I don't understand what you mean. I do have an "update" button where I have attempted to set the checkbox value to True if the orginal checkbox value is True but the checkmark doesn't appear in the box. I get a faint red box around the checkbox and the checkbox essentially becomes read only so that I cannot change the selection which is a must. I suppose the only thing to do is to show the original checkboxes along side the new checkboxes so the user can see what was chosen before and check them again....it makes the form a little busy.

Please try modifying the field's properties instead of the control's properties.

That is correct. The problem I face is there doesn't seem to be a way to set a default value in the secondary checkboxes based on values (True/False) from the first set of checkboxes. With a textbox field, I can set the default value.

The reason I don't want to use the original checkboxes is because I don't want to alter the original repeating table (checkboxes) in any way. I want them to remain with the original selections. Initially I want their values to populate my secondary repeating tables fields and checkboxes and this is doable with textbox fields but not with checkboxes it seems?

Based on the prior posts in this thread, it sounds like you are displaying the same repeating group in two different table controls. If so, then you can just display the same field as checkboxes in both tables. Am I missing something?

One more question ....I have checkboxes in my original repeating table. Is it possible to populate the secondary checkboxes with values from original by default? Is yes, how?
