We have a form that is a candidate for multiple/nested repeating fields, as it looks like this:
It has been requested that I find a way to have this be a generated document. We have Nintex Forms and Workflow for 365, and I found a similar use case:
Diving a little deeper into Document Generation
But when I look at the XML I get from these nested sections, this is what I have:
reportTopic1discussion1<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RepeaterData><Version /><Items><Item><ActionItem type="System.String">actionItem 1.1</ActionItem><PersonsResponsible type="System.String">people 1.1</PersonsResponsible><Deadline type="System.String">deadline 1.1</Deadline><Status type="System.String">On Hold</Status></Item><Item><ActionItem type="System.String">actionItem 1.2</ActionItem><PersonsResponsible type="System.String">people 1.2</PersonsResponsible><Deadline type="System.String">people 1.2</Deadline><Status type="System.String">Open</Status></Item></Items></RepeaterData>
- reportTopic1discussion1
- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><RepeaterData>
- <Version />
- <Items>
- <Item>
- <ActionItem type="System.String">actionItem 1.1</ActionItem>
- <PersonsResponsible type="System.String">people 1.1</PersonsResponsible>
- <Deadline type="System.String">deadline 1.1</Deadline>
- <Status type="System.String">On Hold</Status>
- </Item>
- </Items>
- </RepeaterData>
So, how can I grab the things that start kind of before the XML (which is the "parent" Repeating Section)? Or is there a better way to do this that I'm missing?
I configured the parent repeating section to be the one that points to the plaintext multi-line field, and then could not do so with the nested one.
Parent:
Child:
I can't configure the child to be connected regardless of whether or not the parent is either, as I did check.
