Can you promote fields in repeating sections to a sharepoint list?

So I'm converting my InfoPath forms into Nintex forms.  We have a few forms were we would have to copy basically the same section over and over (same rules too).  Essentially we wanted some of the fields inside the sections to be searchable within Sharepoint.  Repeating sections inside InfoPath would have been easier, but you cannot promote data inside those sections to fields in Sharepoint.  Is that the same for Nintex forms?

in nintex whole repeating section is stored to a list field - as a plain text (XML). so search crawler will not have problem to index it.

Ok, thank you.  I guess this will work if I have multiple fields inside the repeating section?
