Need a default answer to equal answer to previous question in survey

Anonymous User

I am working on a survey where I have asked the user to enter which transect they are working on. Then I begin a repeat so they can enter all the recurring info for that transect. Within this repeat I want there to be a a hidden field that will record the transect number they chose earlier. Once they are done with Transect 1 they will move to Transect 2. This will start the repeat again and I want the hidden field to record that they are now on Transect 2.

Can someone please help with how I can approach this type of question? I'm very new to Survey123 so this is likely simpler than I think it is! Thank you!

You can just create a hidden or calculate type field and then use a calculation of ${FieldOutsideRepeat}.  Just note the field name cannot be the same.  Use this a lot to have keys in all repeats.

We use one form per transect since the form is so massive.  And it was made before nested repeats.
