Form controls - Repeater

The Repeater Control wraps up sets of other controls (excluding the section controls). It allows the form creator to design a set of fields that work together but then have these fields repeat as many time as the user needs them.

For example, the form may need to record a short summary of the weather and the matching date/time. There may be one entry needed, or twenty needed, depending on the request.

The form creator will use a repeater that has a text field and a date/time field. Then when the user needs to enter a new summary they click on Add New Repeater (Fig 1). A new copy of the fields will be displayed ready for entry. (Fig 2).

If the user needs to edit an existing summary then they can click the pencil icon for the repeater entry (Fig 1) and the values will be shown ready for editing (Fig 2).
