Previous values - Repeat groups

Question

Dear all,

I hope all is well. I would like to know if is possible to copy or duplicate the previous data in the next group repeat questions.

We need to add new information in the new group based the previous data (repeat group), in this way the idea is to have per default the previous data.

In advance, thanks!

As you can see I have been trying to do this for 3 years now.  I really need it.

I did get a javascript way to work but for me my repeat is too big and it causes a out of memory crash on the iPad.  You can try it and see if your repeat is small enough.

I have attached the javascript code here.

To call it looks like this in the calculation column.  Note I use a radio button that allows the user to add them or not.

if(${UseDefaults}='Yes',pulldata("@javascript", "functions.js", "sameaslast", ${nameofrepeat}, currentindexasnumber, "FieldName"),'')

Hope it works for you.  I thought there was a Idea to upvote but I cant find it.

I, too, need to carry values from one repeat to the next. Essentially, I need a duplicate button that would allow the user to copy all values from the prior repeat into a new record in the table. Is this now possible?

Thanks Ismael.

In fact, I share one example:

Into the first visit the doctor asked and filled the Clinical history of a person, but during the second visit, another doctor needs to check if the data is complet; In this way, the second doctor needs to complement based the first data (No modify the original information).

Thanks
