Include variable from outside repeat in column of repeats table

Question

Hi all,

I am currently trying to create a feature report template that contains a table with all the entries from a repeat describing geological layers (repeat name blue and questions within repeat green). I would now like to add a variable (${water_level}) from outside of the repeats (recorded after the repeats in my app) in the middle of the table displaying the repeat entries.

Largeur de couche

Profondeur

Niveau d'eau

Nature du terrain

Coupe technique

${#new_layer}${layer_width}

${layer_bottom}

${water_level}

${description}

${tech_layer}${/}

Whenever i try to upload the feature report template i get the following error message:

Failed to parse ${water_level}. Field ${water_level} does not exist or cannot be found in current parsing scope.

However if i print the variable somewhere outside the table everything's fine.

I tried creating a calculate field within the repeat based on the ${water_level} variable outside of the repeat, but as the ${water_level} is only specified after recording several layers in the repeat, the water level value gets only assigned to the calculate field of the last repeat entry.

Does someone have an idea how i could solve this?

Cheers,

Flo

Hi Flo,

Thanks for the additional info, I created a survey and a template based on the info you provided, and here is the screenshot of my feature report template. Note the Form_17 is the main layer name of the survey that I created, and you need to replace that with your main layer name.

The main layer name can be found in Feature Report panel -> Manage templates -> Upload new template -> Under the Howto create a template gray box. Or you can find it on the feature layer overview page on the AGOL.

Feel free to reply if this not work for you.

Thanks,

Ruth
