Can you use REPEAT with ODK collect when using "field-list" appearance?

Hi,

I would like to be able to repeat a group of questions and attempted to do
this using the "begin repeat" and "end repeat" terms. I'm working with ODK
collect, and have chosen the appearance for this group of questions as
"field-list". When I navigate to this group of questions on my tablet, I
get the error "Only questions are allowed in field-list". Is the appearance
of this group giving me this error? Does ODK collect work well with the
terms "begin repeat" and "end repeat".

I've attached my example here.

Thanks for the help.

As the error says, a field-list group can only contain questions.

Think of field-list groups as constructs for grouping questions onto a
single screen.

repeat groups can be contained within non-field-list groups.

Since repeat-groups necessarily require their own screens for displaying
the repeat group, it doesn't make sense to nest them within field-list
groups.

That said, Enketo (the webpage alternative to ODK Collect) displays all
questions on a single HTML screen, and therefore may not care or handle the
field-list appearance, and may not take any issue with forms such as yours.
