repeater area

Limit the number of repeats in a ChronoForms repeater area.

Overview

The repeater area allowed unlimited repeats despite attempts to control it with field values.
Use the Max Count setting available in CF v8.0.40 or later to set a maximum number of repeats. Ensure you are using at least v8.0.41 for proper trigger and listener functionality within the repeater area.

Hi Max.

Can you tel me how I can limit the repeater area. I tried to define a field for the Key name and give it a value of 1. Than the first form is shown, perfect.

Then I set an valid match on this field with an other field Mx with the value 2.

But I can repeat as much I want. Is there a solution for this. To maximize the repeater area?

Hi Max,

It works like you sad, but it looks that the tiggers and listeners within the area fields doesn't work anymore. Do I have  to change something in the triggers when I use this within a repeater area?

Greetings

Paul

Hi Paul

Please try again with v8.0.41 as there was a small issue with triggers/listeners code in 8.0.40

Hi Max,

Also with version 8.0.41 the same problem. Without repeater area it works fine.

Hi Paul

What kind of triggers/listeners did you have in the repeater ? normally the events will not work inside the repeater because it's not possible to decide which clone will be affected by the trigger, since all clones will have the same listener
