How to create a hidden repeat in Survey 123?

[AlexisGieseker]

Is there a way to make a repeat in Survey 123 hidden?The repeat I'm wanting hidden is called species in the attachment. 

I'm not wanting it to show up on the app but am wanting the related table to put in the lab results. 

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi Alexis,

I'm not seeing any calculations or method for interacting with the repeat in the XLSForm that you provided.  

What you might want to do is publish the XLSForm as you have it now, then create a second survey using the existing feature service option, selecting the feature service from the first survey.

Prior to publishing this second survey, you can remove all questions from the XLSForm (this will not delete the related table or fields within it) and republish.

Best,

Brandon
