Concatenate hidden variable in a repeating group of questions

hi there,

I have tried to concatenate a group of questions which appear in a
repeating section and keep getting an error.

Does this mean that concat doesn't work in a repeating group of questions?

Cheers,
Jess

the code suggests this should work. can you paste your xpath expression?

oh, you're running this inside each repeat, not trying to concatenate the
same question from all repeats into one? (not that that should affect the
outcome; they both should work). what is the error you're getting? and what
is the repeating node?

sorry i don't know what you mean by 'node'?

anyway i just found this in commcare help site……. NOTE: at present you cannot put a hidden value inside of a repeat group; therefore it is not possible to do calculations per repeat group, only outside of repeat groups.

bummer!
