My vision apparently exceeds InfoPath's ability in 365. Repeating tables are needed, but insufficient - my sections need to be repeating/optional as well. In another forum, someone pointed out there Microsoft offers no InfoPath app for SharePoint. If I weren't new to Windows 10 and apps, that might have given me a clue to it's toothless nature. Nevertheless, the inability to change property values after creating a New View (i.e., can't change the view name, page size/orientation, etc.) seems especially egregious.
