Repeating section not working for one certain Sharepoint list column

 I have a repeating section on start form which contains read-only short/long text controls.

The default value of the repeating section is an external data’s records collection.

The external data is a data lookup to a sharepoint list, getting columns:

Control/field mapping is working for:

  • ObjectiveDetails
  • ObjectiveMetric
  • ObjectiveName
  • ObjectiveID
  • ReviewID

Control/field mapping is not working for ObjectiveComments.

 

I have tested:

  • Renaming the field in Sharepoint and on the form control
  • Creating a new repeating section in the same form
  • Creating a new repeating section in a start form on a separate testing workflow
  • Using label type form control instead of long text
  • Setting the first ObjectiveComments as default value in a label outside of the repeating section (worked)

I am going to use a workaround of having the ObjectiveComments displayed in a label using the field from a separate external data variable which filters by current row ObjectiveID, but would like to check if this is a bug to be resolved, or something i’m doing wrong, or some further checks I can do?

Adding the label for ObjectiveComments to the repeating section worked initially, but then stopped working when I added a formula to determine label visibility, the labels still showed manual text, but stopped displaying the ObjectiveComments records.

Removing the formula from label visible property resolved the label not displaying the record.
