Populating fields in subsequent sections of a repeating section

newbie999 — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 15:52:21 GMT

I am creating a form as follows. I have a "outer" repeating section in which the user enters a work item and then selects as many names as he/she wishes from a drop down list. When the user clicks a button (also in this "outer" repeating section), Feedback textboxes are added for each name selected, as well as text boxes with the names selected from the drop down appear above the those provided for feedback. I used the Clone method to create the new feedback textboxes and textboxes that display the user's name that was selected. (The username textbox appears above the respective feedback textbox). This did the trick, but there is a problem. The user should be able to click "Insert item" on the outer repeating section to add another work item wherein he/she may again select as many names as they wish, click a button, and have feedback and user name text boxes appear for each name selected from the drop down box associated with the *current* work item, (i.e, "outer" repeating section). I clicked Insert Item on the "outer" repeating section and selected 2 names from the second drop down, but when I try to clone a node, it is added at the end of the *previous* repeating section. I don't know how to navigate into (for lack of a better term) subsequent repeating sections.

I saw the following links, but they were for tables. Also, I am rather new to Infopath and was not sure how to proceed.
