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

Prerequisites
