Dear all,
I have a household survey where early on I ask for the Head of House ID,
firstName,middleName and Surname. Later on within the same survey I start a
loop where I want to register all household member IDs, firstNames,
middleNames and Surnames. Considering I have already done this for the head
of house earlier, I am wondering how I can pre-populate the firstName,
middleName and Surname fields *only on the first loop. *Subsequent loops
should not pre-populate. Is this possible, selectively pre-populating a
loop based on jr:count maybe?
Each copy of the loop is expected to behave identically.

As Mitch said, each loop behaves identically. I use the attached example as
an effective work around for these situations. It can require a little more
work on the data cleaning end, but I've found that utilizing this can
reduce HH roster errors.
In short you have two questions within the HH roster repeat group for each
question you want pre-populated based on previously collected data. The
first Q is only relevant on the first loop (and pre-populated) and the
second Q is relevant for all other loops.
