I found what I think is a bug with repeats - but it may also be a coding mistake on my end. I'm using Collect 1.4.3 on a variety of Android tablets (with OSes ranging from 3.0 to 4.3).
I have coded the form to have an int field and then loop through a series of questions based on what number was entered into that field using jr:count (that is, if the user enters '3' it will loop 3 times). This works for all cases except when the user enters '0'. In that case, the repeat will loop once. To rephrase, if the user enters '0' or '1', the behaviour is the same. Thoughts?

My guess is that deep in the bowels of the Javarosa library, there is
confusion between a null value and zero.
If you enter zero, are you limited to just 1 pass through the repeat group,
or can you continue to add more records? (i.e., the behavior if jr:count
is absent/null)
This is unlikely to get fixed anytime soon.
The simple work-around is to wrap the repeat in another group with a
relevant condition of: "/data/DEM1_15 > 0"

Hi all,

DEM2_1. Just so we can keep track of you we are talking
about, can you tell me this person's initials?

Just to be clear, the int for the repeat is set before any repeating happens. But, I can confirm that 0 is treated the same way as null. That is, if I leave the value as null (skip the question), I still go through the repeat once.
Will do. I'll use Mitch's suggestion of wrapping in a relevant for now.
