Hello,

You could use the count-selected  
[https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/CommCare+Functions#CommCareFunctions-count-selected](https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/CommCare+Functions#CommCareFunctions-count-selected)  
function  
(with Q1 as the argument) as the `count` of your repeat to repeat once for  
each selected item.

Cheers,  
Will
