I’ve seen with a recent update the I can Copy the data from a Repeating Section down from the start form and into a task, and the data is editable. This is great for our workflows, but I’ve run into an issue in getting the data to copy between two tasks.
We have two tasks(A and after the Start Form in a Branch by Stage action. The Initial/Default Branch flows to task A, that has two options Complete or Send to the Other Brach that has Task B when they click submit. Task B on the Other Branch, has the exact same options so information can flow between A and B until A is satisfied and they choose to Exit and end the workflow.
The issue with the Repeating Section that I'm having is that the data in that only seems to flow one way. Task A can receive the data from the Start form and Task B can receive it from A, but if B sends back to A, A still uses the Start Form’s data.
I got around this with all the other variables by writing them into a workflow variables after the Start Form and making them the default for A and B, then when B Sends back to A it overwrites the variables and A now has updated variables. If A has to send back to B again, B will see the same updated variables A saw.
I tried to work the Repeating Section as I did other variables and write it to a workflow variable as a collection, but the repeating section wouldn’t read the data, so I tried merging them into one collection, and it read it, but the only thing that carries over is the default row count.
Is there something I’m missing will it just not work in this manner? If anyone has some insight I would appreciate it.
