Automatically pass data to all repeats rather than clicking through

[GregHacker1]

I currently have some nested repeats where the data in the child repeat gets entered through the inbox by a secondary user.  For the most part this works great, however, the initial data input requires that all repeats be clicked through in order for them to be submitted properly.  I have a calculation that pre-populates text in a field within the child repeat based on the selected-at function and a repeat index (e.g., once(count()).  I would like that data to be automatically submitted without having to click through each record in the child repeat.  If the initial data submitter doesn't click through all the records only the first repeat gets submitted.  It seems like there should be an easy fix for this.

Thanks!
