Checkbox in a repeater

Question

I'm having some problems with a checkbox in a repeater.

My form loads without any of the fields in the repeater showing. The user has to click a button to "add a row" in order to see the repeater fields. That all works great. The other fields in the repeater all work great. However, there is a checkbox in the repeater that misbehaves.

Below are two examples of what I'm seeing. Any ideas what I might be missing here?

(I tried to attach some screenshot of the form display and field settings, but I can't get any of my files or photos to attach here.)

Example 1:
I load the form and click the "add row" button twice to add two rows of my repeater fields. I fill out all the fields in both rows except the checkboxes. I only check the checkbox in the first row.

Debug output:

            [override] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 1
                    [1] => 2
                )

            [skips] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 1
                    [1] => 2
                )

            [hide] => 0

Example 2:
Same process, but this time I only check the checkbox in the second row.

Debug output:

            [override] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 1
                    [1] => 2
                )

            [skips] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 1
                    [1] => 2
                )

            [hide] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 1
                )

After walking away from it for a couple days and then coming back, I found my problem. I had the fields names as mygroup[hide][{var:area_repeater13.key}] instead of mygroup[{var:area_repeater13.key}][hide]. Once I renamed all the fields, that changed how my array looked in the results and also solved my checkbox problem.

            [0] => Array
                (
                    [override] => 1
                    [skips] => 1
                    [hide] => 1
                )

            [1] => Array
                (
                    [override] => 2
                    [skips] => 2
                    [hide] => 0
                )
