In this guide, we will demonstrate how a custom JavaScript function can be used to generate as many repeatable groups as there are associated records of the parent.

Use Case

This use case showcases a scenario where we open a questionnaire directly from a work order, with as many repeatable v groups as there are associated work order incidents. These repeatable groups are automatically generated based on the number of incidents. Each group contains a lookup question filled with an incident.

Prerequisites

workorder lookup question
repeatable group with workorder lookup incident
note: If you want to work with more questions in repeatable group instances, these questions must be defined.
