In Survey123 Connect is there a way to trigger the behavior of a repeat in one group by entering an integer in another group?

[SMa]

Within one group contains a question of how many and then you enter a number.  I wanted to know can you enter a number, which triggers a repeat in another group to give you that amount of repeats that was entered in the how many question?  For example, I enter 4 in the how many question in one group, which then automatically opens 4 repeats available in another group.

Yep put that number field in the repeat_count column of your repeat.

Since the answer to the how many question can be any integer in my case do I place an expression in relevant or would something like this be in the repeat_column.  Would you mind giving me a brief example?

[DougBrowning]

Not sure if you are asking the user or calculating.  Either way just put that field in the repeat_ count column.

So in Connect on the row that has the begin repeat put ${fieldwithnumber} in the repeat_count column.

Hope that helps
