Repeating Section control

Allows users to insert multiple instances (rows) of the contained set of controls. A typical use of this control is an expense form in which each row is an expense item.

Note: This control is supported in Nintex Mobile, except for noted fields.

Note: When added to a Repeating Section control, child controls are connected to the Repeating Section control and thus cannot be connected to SharePoint columns or fields.

Control settings

Following are the fields and options visible in the control settings dialog box for this form control.

Note: CSS formatting controls are available in the classic forms designer only. To style responsive forms, configure theme settings in the Properties pane.
