Hello All- I have a second question topic unrelated to my earlier post
today.
I am trying to base a repeat off of a respondents earlier answer. The
initial question is how many sexual partners have you had in the last 6
months (n) followed by a
series of questions that everyone answers on their most recent sexual
partner (this is working fine) the problem comes in next when I attempt to
add a repeat section where the respondent is asked a different set of
questions on their remaining sexual partners so (n-1) because they already
responded for the most recent of their n total sex partners.
So if a person says they have 4 recent sexual partners they are asked about
the first and then would have a set of 3 repeat questions. I added a
repeat_count column in my XLSform but regardless of my code unless i put an
integer in the repeat is open ended where I can continually press the +
sign in enketo and add as many subjects as I want.
Are you trying to obtain n-1 dynamically? I think you can just introduce a
calculate question to capture n-1 and put it in repeat-count column.

I am trying to restrict the repeat_count dynamically. I added a calculate
field and then a note (to ensure the calculation is working correct) but it
still will not restrict my repeat count. I am able to calculate n-1
dynamically but then the repeat_count remains open ended.

I know this post is super old but I am having the exact same issue on the repeat_count not being taken into account. Could anyone of you share the trick?
We have had this kind of cases many times, even with very big forms, but
had no problem so far. Can you share your xlsform? I might be able to take
a look.

What version of ODK Collect are you using? Does it work if
repeat_count is static (e.g., 2)?
