Issue

  • We have added some rules in a form, related to repeatable fields groups. Those rules show certain fields based on selected values.
  • The issue arises when the values are repeated in the form, clicking in the 'plus' (+) button and adding a second repeatable fields group. The values are not independent and clash between them.

Environment

  • DXP 7.4 U36

Resolution

  • Up until now, this issue is a product limitation. Currently, this is the accepted logic by the product:
    • Repeatable Fields must not be chosen on Forms Rules Conditions for now due to limitations in the code related to the Forms Rules Evaluation.
    • Repeatable Fields may be chosen on Forms Rules Actions

Additional Information

  • A feature request takes into consideration this issue to correct this limitation: LPS-161286
