How to document or make records of the repeating sections made in the form?  Otherwise I am missing information if retrieving a record.  In this regards, the information is missing. Can anyone help to solve this?  Thanks.

Hi,
Connect the Repeating section control to a Multi Lines of Text SharePoint column configured as plain text.
The output of the repeating section will be in XML format. You can then use the Query XML action in a workflow to read elements from the XML.
The following blog post explains further : https://community.nintex.com/t5/Template-Gallery/Create-an-item-on-a-different-list-for-each-repeating-section/ta-p/78390

The shortcut would be not to use a repeating section and have your user submit a separate form for each row that they would have put in the repeating section.

The link I provided has steps to achieving the solution.
