I have a repeating section with a bunch of columns in it like Textbox, drop downs etc.

First column is like a serial number. Can I make that column as auto increment?

If I can, can I start the first record should start from 2.1 then 2.2,2.3 and going forward?

as a sequencer within repeqting section you can use currentRowNumber runtime function.

but it's just a sequncer, to achieve your desired format you will have to built a formula/calculated field on top of that function.

What is a sequencer? How can I add it to the repeating section on the form.

sequencer means it increases its value by 1 with every single new row. it's 1-based simple numeric value an you have no control over start or actual value, nor step or formatting.

the easiest way to add and see it in repeating section is to place in there calculated value control and with its formula build your custom formatting rule.
