Oh gee, I didn't even remember to create the sample! The best way depends on your desired result. Setting them on submit is nice if you only are displaying one set of the repeating fields. Then the user doesn't even know / think about what the repeating data that they aren't filling out looks like. Setting them on the insert of the ...

Hi Hilary, you didn't attach anything. I saw a solution for this using a rule button to set fields, does that mean there are three ways to accomplish this? Whats the best way (least intensive for the server)

 Hi, Hope you are doing well. I just have a quick question that if I want to set the character limit up to 1250 characters on the comment box.

omg, I can't believe I was missing something so simple. thank you again so much for your help with this.
