Ability to move between repeats like you can for pages.

For pages I can tap and go right to any page I want.  This is sweet.

But I cannot do this for a repeat.  That means on large repeats the crew must tap hundreds of times to review data.

I would like to just tap here and pick the repeat.

Tied into this is repeat indexing where I can ask which repeat I am on.  Also being able to have a repeat move to a specific entry would be sweet.  BTW naming the repeat bar or adding a color coding is asked for a lot - when nesting repeats it can be really hard to tell which is which.

Thanks

YES!!! This would be so helpful.

Similar to other folks I have many biologist clicking through 100 records to get to the correct repeat record. Desperately needed in 2020, and still in 2023

Same same ... clicking multiple times is a real chore.

Would also be great to have a config option to open on the first or the last record.

For one of our workflows we just want to see the last entered repeat.

I am adding my support to this idea, still very much needed in 2025. We have field teams collecting hundreds of plant records and pressing through them all to change 1 or 2 records is very inefficient.

It would be great to get a response from the S123 team on this as it's been nearly 5 years since Doug posted this and it's bizarre that this hasn't even been upgraded from open. Is it even under consideration? I've been using S123 for over 8 years now and think it's one of Esri's best products but the user experience regarding repeats is rough to say the least. No way to navigate to a particular repeat, no way to filter repeats in the app, no way to change how repeats are navigated so the bar always appears at the bottom which can be a nightmare when you have nested repeats. I can see that a similar idea around stacking repeats posted in 2017 was changed to under consideration in 2023 but still no change on that either. 

@Ismael @ChrisLeSueur @CoryMarietta, sorry to tag you all as I'm sure you get tagged in a lot of posts but is there any chance to get an update on this? I know there is a new version of the app coming in 2026 according to this article so can we expect improved repeat navigation when that is released? Thanks
