Consolidating Multiple Repeats into a Single Table Layer

BelindaPurser — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 06:47:46 GMT

I have an Inspection Form we are using in the Field that includes multiple Repeats when reporting issues and the actions taken to remedy them.

Is it possible to consolidate all the Repeats into one Table Layer instead of Individual Table Layers?

At the moment I have a total of 48 Repeats all within different Groups and Questions

The Layout is:

Group 1

Question 1, Repeat Action 1

Question 2, Repeat Action 2

Group 2

Question 1, Repeat Action 1

Question 2, Repeat Action 2

etc.

Can you show an example of what you want the end data to look like? For instance in your layout example is Question 1 from Group 1 the same question as Question1 from Group2 or is it just the first question from each group. Some clarification on what you are trying to achieve would help with some ideas for consolidation.

Could you try 1 repeat with multiple groups? I haven't really thought this through, so not sure how that would play out.

Re: Consolidating Multiple Repeats into a Single Table Layer

Neal_t_k — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 13:13:50 GMT

@BelindaPurser Attached is an idea for you. You have a lot of redundancy in your groups, It appears you have the same amount of questions with just the slight wording differences and of course group name. You could approach this as a nested repeat, with each group item being the parent repeat. Using count-selected() and selected-at(), You could automatically set the number of parent repeats and set each of those items to each of your groups. You could then make master lists for Issues, action_tkn, and actions and use a choice filter to filter them to the group selection. Make at least one of the questions required in the parent repeat so users can't skip them.

Survey123 Tricks of the Trade: Choice Filters - Esri Community

This would drop your backend down to 3 tables.

That said, user would have to get use to a "page" type format instead of a scroll.

Thank you,

This looks like a much better solution. 👍
