Do not include Repeating section by default

[NAT]

Generally a section has a property whether we want or do not want to include
the section by default on the form. I have a repeating section. I do not want
the repeating section to be included by default in the form. But want the
users to add the repeating section if they need them. Is there a solution to
acheive this ?

Hi NAT,

Insert a Text Box and a reating section
Put a conditional formatting on the repeating Section to Hide this section
when the text box is blank

Result: As long as the text box is blank the repeating section is hidden

Hope this helps you

Hi Thanks for the reply. But this does not solve my problem. Bcoz in the
repeating section I have some mandatory fields(required field validators). So
hiding/unhiding does not serve the purpose.bcoz if it remains hidden then
form cannot be submitted. So what I want is that repeating section should not
be included in the form at all by default .But the user should add it only
when he wants.

Hi,
If you are using text box (or Check box) for show/hide repeating section.
In the repeating section fields are (A, B, C).
Give the data validation to the “A†field. When Text box is not blank “Aâ€
field should be required.
I hope this will help you.
