S123 Repeats - Filling all required questions before letting new repeat

Question

Hi,

I'm having a public form where citizens get to enter their personal information and then they are able to add multiple locations on a map with lots of questions associated with this location.  (One to many relationship between the person and his locations)

There is many required questions on the repeat.  However, S123 will let you create a new location before completing all the questions on location 1.  When they try to submit, it won't let them because of that missing question.  They now have to return to each and every location (repeat) to find that missing question.  It can be very confusing when they have 40+ locations, to find which one has a empty question.

Is there a way to force the user to fill all the required questions before being able to use the "+" button to create a new location (repeat)?

Hi Ismael @IsmaelChivite,

This "required" check for repeats is critical for us.  Tech Support identified it as a defect and told me it falls under BUG-000157091.  They say it's "under consideration" but not priority.

Would you think of a workaround until this is fixed? 🤔

I need to stop the user from creating a new repeat until all the fields are filled...

Any progress of having the checks on a page advance?  Similar issue - we have a crew get an error on a field they may have filled out an hour ago and have already left the area usually in rough terrain.

thanks
