Repeating groups
Setup for repeating groups
Groups in the data model contain one or more fields. Groups are defined as repeating if they have maxCount > 1
in
the layout configuration. A group that is repeating in the data model must also be set up as repeating in the form, if
not, data saving will fail. In JSON, a repeating group is defined as an array of objects, where each object is a group.
In XML, a repeating group is defined as a list of elements, where each element is a group/object with properties.
Example
Below is a form with a repeating group that:
- Contains two components (checkbox and address)
- Can be repeated up to three times
- Is bound to the data model group/array
