Count unique instances of a value within a repeat using SUM

[Yuhash]

I am wanting to count the unique instances of a value within a repeat. Others have had the same issues resolved by explicitly casting the values as integers but this isn't resolving my issue.

Survey123 Addition Calculation Treating Numericals as Text Fields  

https://community.esri.com/thread/203632-sum-aggregate-function-appends-values-doesnt-add-them 

I have a calculate field based on a conditional IF statement such that if the condition is met a value is set. Outside of the repeat I have a sum of the conditional field. But instead of summing the integers, the output is a concatenation of text despite trying to cast values as integers and binding as an esriFieldTypeInteger.

if(condition),1,0)

sum(FIELD)

Attached is this example.

e.g.Instead of the value 2, I have 10100

type	name	label	calculation	bind::esri:fieldType
begin repeat	Ratings
select_one rating	Rating	Rating
calculate	Count_1_Star		if(${Rating}=1,int(1),int(0))	esriFieldTypeInteger
integer	note	Note	${Count_1_Star}
end repeat
integer	Integer_Count	Count	sum(${Count_1_Star})	esriFieldTypeInteger

I changed the 'type' of field to an 'integer' from 'calculate' and it works now. I will note that the 'esriFieldTypeInteger' designation has no impact, rather, it is the 'type' field that is significant as explained in Esri custom columns—Survey123 for ArcGIS | ArcGIS  .

Alternately, I can keep the 'type' field as 'calculate' and specify the data type in the 'bind::type' field.

type	name	label	calculation	bind::type
begin repeat	Ratings
select_one rating	Rating	Rating
calculate	Count_1_Star	1_star	if(${Rating}=1,int(1),int(0))	int
end repeat
integer	Integer_Count	Count	sum(${Count_1_Star})	int
