i have reapeater area to evaluate students
​
i put in html widget in the area repeater this code

<div class="ui segment" style="background-color:#EFF1ED">
<h4 class="ui header" style="color:black;">Evaluation student {var:area_repeater309.key}</h4>
</div>

this code is working but it starts with ecaluation students 0 and when i eliminated a student it lost sequence like student0, student2 if student1 is elimanated in this sequence
i want like student1,student2, even second student is elimaneted in this sequence
???
i think i need a variable but i dont know how to control this variable in design and assign this variable to eliminate and new student

i am not clear about how to do it backend?
i solve the other situation with loop email through db read after db save
​
but this one still make useers confusing a lot?

Just ignore the numbers on the front end, redoing the sequence when removing a repeater entry would be very difficult you have to rename all the fields and segments and rebind all the actions it's not worth the effort. I wouldn't even display the repeater key to the user.

Hi samir1903,

In the FAQs there is an example from CFv5 using JavaScript with a multiplier to manage the sequence when an entry is removed. I imagine that you could write something similar for CFv6. Basically it ran a function triggered by the multiplier Add and remove buttons (plus a short delay to let the addition/removal complete). The function scanned the HTML and kept a list of the IDs of the current items and updated records as necessary.
