I am having trouble with the 'default' option in one of my repeats, specifically when combined with the 'relevant' option. The following is a pared-down version of the template that I am working on:
[split to allow for readable image; assume any excluded fields are empty]
...

There is an overarching repeat with two repeats within it. The two sub-repeats are supposed to be similar from a functional perspective (a species list controlled by the "spc_list_control" option). The first repeat is the 'standard' version of the species list. As seen in the image below, the default option [1 = Short List] shows up correctly when the interview form is first opened.

The second repeat is optional and is controlled by the "No/Yes" question. If the option "Yes" is selected then the 'optional' species list is provided. However, the default value does not auto-populate in this instance.

I am wondering if I am doing something wrong with my template. The control options are specified in the same way and use the same source data (spc_list_control).
Thanks in advance.
