In a repeat group that's meant to register individual children in a
household, we would like to include at the end of the group sequence a
label that says:
"NOTE: You said that there are children
in this household. You have now registered
children. Please determine whether to register another child."
After swiping, the "Add new group?" popup should appear.
Is there a way to display the cumulative repeat count as indicated above?
Also, in the form builder, there's an option that says "Disallow Repeat Add
and Remove." Adding groups is self-evident, but if this option is left
unchecked, how exactly can the user remove groups?

As additional information, this is from Fawziya Karim, my colleague in
Kenya who began training our surveyors today:
there is something strange happening with these repeats: if by mistake you
hit "add group" and realize that you don't need another group, it is hard
to undo this. You will still have to go through that entire group. I tried
going back few questions hoping that I will get the "ad group/do not add
group" prompt again but it does not show up. And this only happened on some
phones. On some phones, going back to the previous question would bring
back the prompt but in some others it doesn't. I encountered this problem
at least 4 times. Do you know what might going on?
All of the phones are Moto G's running Jelly Bean and the latest version of
CommCareODK.
Thanks,

If you set a hidden value within your repeat group to calculate the count
of whatever value you're repeating over (for example, /data/repeat_node/)
then you should get the current iteration for every group.
As to that error, if you would navigate to the application that's having a
problem on HQ and report a problem through that page I would be happy to
take a look.

As a follow-up just for learning purposes, this works when the repeat count
is first stored as a hidden value, and then the display text references the
hidden value.
However, it doesn't work if the display text references the repeat count
directly, as in .
Is there a logic behind that? I've noticed that display text also can't
handle IF statements. Can display text only directly reference question IDs
(whether standard questions or hidden values)?

if you use "output ref" it will only be able to directly reference question
IDs. If you use "output value" you can reference xpath expressions as well
as question IDs. We recommend always using "value" instead of "ref", since
it does everything "ref" does and more!
So the output you want is: .
