How fields within repeatable sections behave when used in Logic, Tokens and Calculations inside of that section
Please make sure you are familiar with repeatable sections before continuing.
When a repeatable field (a field within a repeatable section) is used within the same repeatable section, a generic version of the field is used. We refer to these generic versions of repeatable fields as base references.
Each instance of a repeatable section is self-contained in the context of the repeatable section as a whole. This means that every repeatable field can only be referenced from within the same numbered instance of the repeatable section, for example, instance #2 cannot reference fields in instance #1.
Logic
When applied to logic, base references refer to the instance of a field that is within the same instance as the logical rule ie, a logical rule in instance #n is evaluated using instance #n's version of the field.
In the example below, the logical rules on the fields Phone number:, Email address: and Address: in the 1st instance are evaluated based on the answer to Best contact method: in the first instance (section heading "Person #1").
Likewise, in the second instance (section heading "Person #2")., those same rules are evaluated using the response given to the in the 2nd instance of Best contact method:.
Tokens
Like self-contained base reference logic, base reference tokens display the answer to the field within the same instance.
See the example below where Applicant #1 - Full name: is used as a token in the first instance and Applicant #2 - Full name: is used in the second instance.
Calculations
Similarly, a calculation in repeatable sections that reference a field in the same repeatable section will always use the base version of that field. In the example below, the calculations Profit from sale #1 ($): and Profit from sale #2 ($): are performed using the purchase and sale price fields within their respective instances.
