Auto populating data within repeats when data is entered after repeats are created

Is there a way to automatically refresh all repeats before submitting that will ensure all data that is auto populated has been captured?
 
I have nested repeats. Each repeate has 4 other repeats inside of them, such as:
A
A(1)
A(2)
A(3)
A(4)
B
B(1)
B(2)
B(3)
B(4)
C
C(1)
C(2)
C(3)
C(4)
 
And so on
 
At the end of the day I collect date that needs to then auto populate across all repeats in each parent repeat (A, B, C...). Unfourtionately the data only populated on ONE of each nested repeat.
 
For emample, the data I need to have repeat across all sections is gathered on repeat A(3). If any of the other sections (1, 2, 4) have multiple repeats already created it will populate the data on one instance and the others will remain populate.
I could cycle through every repeat manualy and it will populate as I open it. But that is not ideal.
 
Is there a way to automatically refresh all repeats before submitting that will ensure all data is captured?
 
Thank you

No you must touch the repeat for any calcs to fire.  This kinds of makes sense as it could kick off a cascade of calculates that could be massive.
