Hi all,

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?

Thanks,  
Scott

As additional information, this is from Fawziya Karim, my colleague in

All of the phones are Moto G's running Jelly Bean and the latest version of  
CommCareODK.

Whoops, sorry about that accidental send all.

To your first question I would recommend checking out the "count" function  
here:  
[https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/CommCare+Functions#CommCareFunctions-count](https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/CommCare+Functions#CommCareFunctions-count)

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.

Best,  
Will

Hi Will,

Thanks for the advice. That works great.

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)?

Thanks again,  
Scott

Hi Scott,

Luckily there is an easy answer to this one!

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: .

Thanks,  
Amelia
