How we take the GPS location for each sample outside the repeat in survey 123 not inside the repeat

I have prepared the survey form using the soil sample data as attached the screenshot below for the reference but now I want to add the sample location for each repeat section using we were using a GPS device.
I do design a field that will basically, when you click on it, it will populate with the current location of the iPad. And then continue down, answering all these survey questions that are already here. and then when you go to the next repeat. that location field will be blank again,over to the next spot. And that's where you're going to, again, click on that field or a button next to that field to lock in the location for that new soil sampling spot.

Does it possible to add location for each sample outside the repeat in survey 123 not inside the repeat.? so, every time I can change the location for new sample

Each response in a survey is one row in the feature layer's table. You are only allowed to collect one feature geometry per response in the main part of the form. If you need to collect multiple locations for one response, you have to put it in a repeat. Survey123 uses a 1:M relationship to relate the main layer to a repeat table. Each time you hit the + on the repeat in Survey123 you a creating a new row in the repeat table that is related to the main form layer. 

Looking at your screenshot, it appears that all the data you are collecting is related to the soil sample point itself.  FI that is the case, then using a repeat would make the form and the feature layer more complex than necessary. I would get rid of the repeat in the survey and I would have the users walk to the soil sample point, press collect, enter the data, press submit, then walk to the next soil sample point, and repeat those steps.  

Where I would consider using a repeat is if you are doing soil samples at locations within larger units and need the soil sample point data associated with the units. Your main section of the form would have the data for the larger unit, then you'd set up the repeat with a geopoint question in it for the sample point locations.
