How to Apply Logic to a Repeating Section

You can apply logic to a Repeating Section in your form to customise how the data is processed or displayed based on user input. This guide explains how to apply logic to a Repeating Section, enabling dynamic behaviour for each instance of the repeat.

Instructions

1. Open the Form Editor

Go to the form where you want to apply logic to a Repeating Section. Click on Forms in the main menu, then select the form to edit.

2. Select the Repeating Section

In the form editor, click on the Repeating Section where you want to apply logic. This section will have a Repeatable pill in its banner.

3. Go to the Logic Panel

In the section properties panel, navigate to the Logic tab. This tab allows you to configure rules based on the data entered by form fillers.

4. Apply Conditional Logic

To apply logic to the Repeating Section, click on Add Condition.
Choose a condition, such as "Is Equal to," "Is Not Equal to," "Is Answered," etc.
Select the field within the Repeating Section that you want the logic to apply to. For example, you can apply logic based on the age field for each repeat of a child.

5. Configure the Rule for Each Repeat

You can set the logic to apply to specific repeat instances:
- 1-5: Apply logic to each individual repeat (e.g., Child 1, Child 2, etc.).
- Any: Apply logic if any repeat meets the condition.
- All: Apply logic only if all repeats meet the condition.
- Repeat: Apply the rule independently for each repeat.

6. Save the Logic

Once you’ve set the conditions, click Save to apply the logic to the Repeating Section.

Common Issues & Solutions

Issue: Logic does not trigger as expected in the Repeating Section.
Solution: Ensure you have selected a reliable field to apply logic to (e.g., a mandatory field) and review your condition to confirm it’s set up correctly.
