Thanks Hilary :)

not harsh... my response was just typed at the end of a long day. I am happy to try out this promotion. PM me with details.

Sorry if I seemed harsh. Hilary is on sabbatical and will be back September 2nd.

We could copy the code out of qRules and give it to you. Might take 10+ minutes for Jimmy or someone to do.

I can ask them to do this but of course if you can't get it to work we can't just offer free code support for everyone - that was the whole point of qRules. :)

qRules goes to support the forum.

If you don't have money we are doing a promotion now where if you get it working and allow us to tape a quick demo and give us 2-3 sentences of feedback about your solution, we give away a free license. Maybe that will work for ya. :)

This thread is solved. I was simply posting a link to my new question in the hope that the nice lady that helped me solve this question would be able to help out with a solution. I do not post haphazerdly on forums and I have searched both this and other sites for a solution. I have not found any that worked for me and that is why I posed the question. Thank you for your suggestion, do you have any other advice?

There definitely is code somewhere in the 50k+ posts of this forum that deal with this. Just a matter of hunting it down.

You have two choices - you can clear each field or you can clone from the template's sample data. I usually just clone from sampledata - that way even if the group isn't included by default, I'll be able to clone:

            //get the parent node for the repeating group
            XPathNavigator parent = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:A", NamespaceManager);
            //clone a node from sample data
            XmlDocument sampleData = new XmlDocument();
            sampleData.Load(this.Template.OpenFileFromPackage("sampledata.xml"));
            XPathNavigator child = sampleData.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:A/my:Aa", NamespaceManager).Clone();
            //append the node
            parent.AppendChild(child);

In testing I realised that this will keep the data from the cloned node in the appended node. Is there any way to only clone the structure and not the data?

Thanks again.

Fantastic! That worked.

I do really want to mess around with qRules. I have seen it as the answer to many problems on the forums but it is not a part of my budget. I will however download the free version to learn more about it for future projects.

Thank you for all of your help!!

Okay - a few things I should mention - qRules can do this for you in a rules based way, as well as delete nodes and a kajillion other things - you can try a free download here.

However, given the sample form you first posted, you could add code to the button on the form, and use this:

   //get the parent node for the repeating group
   XPathNavigator parent = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:A", NamespaceManager);
   //clone a node
   XPathNavigator child = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:A/my:Aa", NamespaceManager).Clone();
    //append the node
    parent.AppendChild(child);

This is C#, for IP 2007 or greater. The stuff in bold you can replace with the correct XPath to your parent (non repeating) group and your child (repeating group). This is not bullet proof by any means - if, for example, you set your form to not include the repeating group by default, this will fail. But hopefully it is simple and understandable and you'll be able to try it.

okay - so you have to allow that in order for this technique to work - I'll grab your earlier form sample and help you with a little code.

Well, it worked until i unchecked: 'Allow users to insert and delete sections'

When i did that the XmlToEdit on the advanced tab goes away....

I need to uncheck the 'Allow users to...' because the point of the exercise is to stop users from being able to remove sections.

Any advise on how i should proceed?

Thanks again.

Not when going from Browser to Filler - Filler has more functionality than Browser. The other direction you can have issues - but the Design Checker will usually give you a head's up.

Well that sounds good. Is there anything i should lookout for when switching the compatability? any adverse effects?
