Nintex Community Menu Bar

I will try to be as succinct as possible. Basically I have a Nintex form built on one list for Projects. The form has 10 panels with a Resource Column (which is a People Picker) an Hours column (Number) and Roles (Lookup) in each of them. A checkbox on 9 of them with logic that the other panels are hidden until you check it. Basically trying to mimic a repeating table. The form gets filled out I have a workflow to copy to another list.

 

Depending on the number of resources you fill out is how many items on the next list. So choose 4 resources on List A workflow writes 4 separate rows in list B. The challenge is on List B there are columns for Resources, Hours, Roles and Project Name. So I want to pull that info from List A. So the 4 rows in list B now have four different individual Resources, Hours, Roles and all with the same project name.

 

I can link the two lists easily enough as List B's Project Name is a lookup to List A's Project Name column which gets populated by the form. I can create multiple rows as well using Run If and Copy to SharePoint controls. I even have a For Each which can then pull all the ID's from List B in a variable. I'm trying to do a For Each but that just populates the Resource field with the last user's name in the Resources column rather than the 4 unique Resources on the form. Can this be done? Thanks so much for reading all of this and answering in advance.

Is there any particular reason that you have not just used a Repeating Section, and have opted to instead use this hidden panel approach? 

What you're trying to do is very similar to the example situation (using a repeating section) as seen in this blog post: http://workflowexcellence.com/nintex-workflow-order-and-order-items-relationship/
