The values in the 15 fields can be entered with 15 dynamic drop-downs
In V5 i did this check in an Event Switcher

change $form->data to $this->data, and change $form->validation_errors to $this->errors

The variable $v is undefined ?

Thank you Max,
This code below, is working well. Varialbe $v was code pollution, I removed it

// an array of drop-down names:
$dropdowns=array(
$this->data[ip][0][renner],
$this->data[ip][1][renner],
$this->data[ip][2][renner],
$this->data[ip][3][renner],  
$this->data[ip][4][renner],  
$this->data[ip][5][renner],
$this->data[ip][6][renner],
$this->data[ip][7][renner],
$this->data[ip][8][renner],
$this->data[ip][9][renner],
$this->data[ip][10][renner],
$this->data[ip][11][renner],
$this->data[ip][12][renner],
$this->data[ip][13][renner],
$this->data[ip][14][renner],
);

$dropdowns = array_unique($dropdowns);
if ( count($dropdowns) < 15 ) {
  return fail;

I have this code in A PHP action
In advanced settings I have a "Events" with two return events "Success"and "Fail".
In the "Success event" I have de Loop / Save Data
In the fail i have a PHP action with an HTML message and a redirection to the form.submit after 5 seconds delay.
The only problem is that the form is reset and empty. I would prefer the form with the choices right before the submit action.

the form is empty because you redirect, why do you redirect to the submit page ? your fields are in the start_page, yes ?

That makes no difference because in the load page i a Read_Data action for data from an eventual previous submitted form.
If there is no previous data in the table the form will be empty.
