    Hyperlink in Repeating Section Not Repeating

    Hopefully this goes into the controls group!

    I am building a form and I have a repeating section.  Within that section, I have a field that allows the user to select a tactic from a drop down.  This then populates a hyperlink based on an external data connection.  I can get that to work no problem.  However, when I insert a new section, the hyperlink field stays the same, and if I change the choice in the drop-down, it updates the link in not only that instance of the section, but in all others too!  The data field is under the repeating section the fields, so why doesn't this field repeat?  I have tried deleting it and adding the control again by dropping it directly into the repeating section.  

    I've included screen shots below that include the dummy text field, ideally this would be hidden and only the hyperlink would show.   Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi kmanocchiolewis,

    You may want to try using a rule which re-calculates the links whenever the drop-down field changes. Please check if this approach would work for you, if not, kindly attach a sample of your form so we could investigate further.

    I was able to make this work by having the tactic used populate the link with a rule instead of the link being the default value as I had before. 

    Not sure if this made a difference or not, but I also put it in a repeating table as opposed to a repeating section.

    Works great now, thanks!
