I currently have a household listing form which uses a repeat count based
on the number of people in the household.
And then it goes through registering everyone in the household based on
that count.
I have also developed a unique ID using each household members position()
combined with state/township/village and household.
However after this I have a question which asks whether there is any other
people living in the house just in case people have been left out of the
original count.
And then if the enumerator clicks yes the same set of questions which was
in the previous repeat group that was based on a count, is listed in a
separate repeat group.
My problem is that because i have based my unique id on the position number
of the first repeat group. I am not sure whether it is possible to have the
same system for any extra household members.
Is there anyway of combining these 2 repeat groups to ensure my unique Id
system continues for those extra household members?
Like for example would it be possible to use the final position number in
the first group +1 or something like that?

In order to look into this further, can you tell me a bit more about what
you're trying to do? What you say "position" of the family member, what
does that mean? And are you assigning multiple unique IDs from one form?
And to whom/what are these IDs assigned - people, or households?
Also, when you have someone who DID leave a household member out of their
original response and you have to fill out the second repeat group, does
that mean the original ID that was created needs to be updated?

So the first repeat group has a 'repeat Count' based on the number of
people in the household.
Then based on this count I have used the "position(..)" of the household
member to create a unique Id for that individiual household member by
combining the houehold with the position number
(concat(/Respondent_householdlisting_myanmar/hhid, position(..) ). Tshi is
created form one form and carried to other modules and forms.
However I then have this separate repeat group which is essentially a check
to make sure no household members have been forgotten or left out.
The second repeat group follows a question which asks whether there are any
additional household members. If they select yes then the second repeat
group appears with the same set of questions as the first.
So what I would like to know is whether there is any way of counting the
position numbers consecutively in the second repeat following from the
first repeat group. I.e if I have 5 people in the first repeat Position
1-5. Is it possible to start counting the 6th person in the second repeat?
Or can I change the start number for the second repeat?
I hope that makes sense.
Cheers,
Jess

There isn't a great way to do this. One suggestion I have:
Add a hidden value to your form that tracks the number of repeats you
have in the first group. Set the calculation to
count(/data/first_repeat_group) For example, you might call this hidden
value first_repeat_count
In your second repeat group, when setting the household number instead of
just using position(..), you can use /data/first_repeat_count + position(..)
