Create questions for repeating list datafields

Why repeating lists?

Repeating list datafields are useful for example when the number of desired entries is not known or is very high. For instance, when drafting a shareholders’ agreement with numerous shareholders it would be burdensome to create new datafields to each shareholder. Using repeating lists allows us to add information on multiple shareholders by using only one, repeating datafield. Furthermore, this allows us to create intelligent tables. For more information on the use of repeating list datafields, see this article.

Repeating list datafields do not show up in batch create sheet as the simpler datafields do.

If you now go to the Simulate mode, you will be able to test adding new entries by using the new entry button!
