BUG - Repeater fields are missing

How to fix missing repeater field data in ChronoForms emails and submissions.

Overview

The issue occurs when a repeater field name places the [n] index before the field suffix, which CF may not recognize for data storage and email templates.
Ensure the repeater field name places the [n] index at the end, or use a Loop inside a Buffer Output to properly generate the field values list for inclusion.

Thank you for posting the solution.

Yes, the email template may not be able to list the values if the [n] is not at the end of the field name, in this case you may need a Loop inside a Buffer Output to generate the fields values list then include that in the email
