Repeats - form is valid when required repeats are completed

Question

I have a survey containing a repeat. The repeat count is set to 20, because for every survey there must be 20 responses.

Currently the user could potentially submit the survey when less than 20 responses have been completed. This will cause problems further down the line so I would like the survey to only be valid when the repeat count is 20 - is this possible? In other words, repeat count is 20 meaning the user can submit or; repeat count is 17 meaning the user can't submit until all 20 repeats have been completed.

Please can someone offer advice?

Thanks Joshua and Doug. I'm offline this morning but will try to get on later today and see if I can get the repeat to work as intended. If I'm still struggling then I'll upload the survey for you to look at. Thanks again guys, appreciate the help.

I kept having lots if issues with repeat count similar to this and more.

In the end I created a counter using count() then set a constraint on that.  That way the repeat grows as they add then gives an error if more or less than 20.  Works much better with complicated forms.

Hi Frank,

It worked for me in the desktop publishing space! Would you be able to post the survey123 form or at least the relevant part from the repeat so I can take a look? Here's how mine looked:
