Embedded repeat causes summary of outer repeat to become hidden

Support
1

In ODK collect, I have a group that contains a repeat. There is a group embedded in the repeat. The embedded group is used to hold a useful summary view of the contents of the repeat like so:

summary 1
summary 11194×1000 57.3 KB

This is a screenshot of the xlsform:

xlsform1
xlsform1828×291 63.4 KB




My problem is when a repeat is embedded inside the main repeat like this xslform:

xlsform2
xlsform2880×457 101 KB




The summary view of the outer repeat, which was so useful, is not displayed anymore. Instead I get this:
summary 1a
summary 1a1199×540 63.3 KB




However, the embedded repeat's summary is working fine:

summary 2
summary 21195×436 51.8 KB

I need help so that the the summary view in the outer repeat shows the species composition (as shown in the first screenshot) and not the label of the outer repeat.

Thanks,
Raffy

Hi @RaffyM
could you attach the xls form so that we can tests it?

i am attaching 2 xlsforms,

one, with only 1 repeat:
flies.xlsx (8.9 KB)

one, with a repeat containing an embedded repeat.
flies2.xlsx (9.4 KB)

Thanks

I think that ODK Collect works as expected. The difference between those two forms is that in the second one species_detail_group does not stretch the whole repeat group to which it belongs and that's why it's not displayed in the same way.

Shouldn't it be something like: flies2.xlsx (8.4 KB)
