Open repeater area automatically

newbandon 03 Aug, 2020
Is it possible to create an action that opens a Repeater area to the first form on load?

By default, a Repeater area is closed and a user must click the button to view the first area, enter data, click the button again to enter more. Can I make it so that the first button click is essentially done so the first Repeater area is open...then a user can click the button if they want more of them?

Yes, set the data source or whatever to 0

There is a field called "Data provider" which must be the array (i.e. {var:data.key}) and there is a field called "Keys provider," but changing that to 0 (or anything else) does nothing. There is no field called "Data source" in the Repeater element. Any other thoughts on that solution?

I was thinking the way to accomplish the Repeater opening might be to have a onload statement that clicks the "Repeater Add" button once, but I don't know how to automate that.

The value is always "0 "initially.

It was my understanding that it was determined under this post that it could not be anything else other than "0" for the initial value in version 6 of Chronoforms:
