In my application I have a form which is essentially a household listing. I
have set it up as a repeating group and based on answers within this repeat
group, I would like to create child cases for women and children under 5
that will then be measured in the Anthropometric module.
However I would like to save answers to questions in the repeat group as
properties for my case list (i.e household id, household members name, age
etc). I have done this before in previous applications but in this
application I keep getting an error message saying 'Inside the wrong
repeat'. What does this mean? (see attached screenshot)
Any assistance you can provide on this would be greatly appreciated.
If you have a form with 2 (or more) repeat groups I believe you would see
this error if you tried to save properties from questions in different
repeat groups to the same child case. Are all the questions you are trying
to save from the same repeat group?
Also, is the question that establishes whether or not the case should be
created (This woman is eligible for...) inside of the repeat group? If so I
think that could cause a problem. To clarify, as far as I know you can only
create cases from a repeat group in an all or nothing approach. That is,
you can't fill out a repeat group 5 times and have it create a case only 3
of the times. Though it is certainly possible I'm wrong about that. Does it
work if you remove the condition for creating a child case?

Maybe I didn't understood something, but I can't save any data from a
repeat group in a subcase. I have the same error shown in the picture from
Jessica Hall.
How exactly do we do that ?
I don't need to filter the values or anything. If I got 5 repeats, I want 5
subcases.
Thank for your advices.

Do you have more than one repeat group in your form? The most common source
of this error (possibly the only one) is if you try to save properties from
more than one repeat to a subcase. This can be tricky if you have similarly
named questions in both groups, so you will need to check the entire
reference including the repeat id when saving the field to the case.

Thanks for your reply. I actually found how it works in the meantime. I did
a more thorough research in the forum and found the answer I was looking
for.
I have only one repeat group, but I wasn't configuring the case management
in the right way.
It is possible to open a child case from questions that are in a repeat
group. Note that you will not be able to use the questions in the repeat
group to update the parent case, only for the child case. This is useful if
you want to be able to open multiple child cases of one type.
To do so, just include one of the parameters from your repeat groupe
(generally preceded by a '-') in the 'Case Property' name of the child
group.
