I have a repeating table in my form and a HTML table. Currently after the user updates the repeating table, the user needs to submit first so I can process it to extract the values to rebuild the HTML table. I resend the same task back to the user with the HTML table updated with the new values. 

Is there another way to update the HTML table without needing to submit the form? 

Hi ​@jack54321,

Do you have more information, such as where this HTML table is located?
Screenshots can help show us what you are trying to achieve.


Hi ​@SimonMuntz,

I did find this post and it helped provide a solution that I was trying to do.

Generating HTML Table from Repeating Section using Form Controls only | Community

However, my repeating table has currency fields. How can I get the formatting to carry over into the HTML table with commas after every 3 digits and 2 decimal places? 


Hi ​@jack54321,

You could create a form plugin to do the job.
The attached plugin will grab the first three controls in a repeating section and create a html table.
The table headers are static so will need to be changed in the code. I had to do this as the JSON output of the Repeating section uses its own system names and not the control names.If it wasnt for this the plugin would be totally dynamic.
If you have more controls in the repeating section they will also need to be added to the code.
We add the repeating section to a form variable with the convertToString function and then feed that variable to the plugin.
The table is updated as you click out of the control.
The Price is formatted to show thousands, two decimal places, and a dollar sign.  This can also be changed in the code.
Here is a link to my GitHub where I have hosted the project.https://github.com/Smuntz/JSONToTable


Use the element name : jsontohtmltable-input

When adding the plugin.


Hi ​@jack54321 have you solved your question?
