Copy the previous repeating section values

hi ​@jschmidt7, 

Thankyou for your question. The above is not something that can be achieved today. Saying that, it sounds like a great use case to explore further. Do you need the New Row to be added dynamically based on meeting certain condition or rule triggered? Or would it work if its a user triggered duplication? Wondering if you can share more about the use case so we can investigate further? 

I would like to have a button that the user could click to copy the repeating section row to a new row. 

Hi ​@jschmidt7,

That would be a handy function. Post it up on ideas.nintex.com

Thanks ​@jschmidt7 , we are investigating on how we can enable this function. I will provide you an update with a week’s time. 

​@pawankolaki thanks that would be nice! 

I looked at creating a plugin for this.
I was able to create a button that you place in a row of a repeating section. The button created the new row and captured the inputs for each control, but I could not add those inputs to the new row. The reason is that the new row is either hidden in the shadow DOM or in the backend Angular.
As Nintex obviously has access to the backend Angular, I am sure that this would not be too hard to implement.

​@Simon Muntz, I doubt they will do this. Thanks for trying. I wish they would be consistent with functionality between the SharePoint Online and Nintex Cloud Forms, but they don’t.
