Need Help Understanding Error Messages

[Cindeedirella]

I'm working on a form and below are the error messages I’m getting that I
don’t know how to fix. When I first put it together, I was worried more
about the content than functionality. If anyone has a quick fix, it would
definately be appreciated since I’m under a major time crunch to get it
done...Here are the error messages I'm getting along with two questions:

"Control stores duplicate data"
"Control cannot store data"
And, Is there a way to set an action for the buttons I’ve put in so that you
click on them to repeat the section?
When I hit the “repeat the section†button everything that was typed in the
first time auto fills the new section.

Thanks in advance for the help

This message will only address the first message you are seeing: "Control stores duplicate data".

Be assured that this is not an "error". Rather the message is informational. It lets you know that you have more than one control in a single view that is bound to the same data node. It is letting you know that a user might enter data in one field, and then later unexpectedly modify it in the other field depending on how you are using it.

If you set it up right, and the user understands that the fields both contain the same value, then you can safely ignore this informational message.
