eMapper � Mapping to questions inside repeating sections

eDesigner doesn't currently support mapping to questions inside repeating sections. 
However, as a workaround, you can use standard sections and show/hide them using page rules

For example

Let's say you want a repeater where 3 cars is the maximum.

And inside them you have Colour, Make, Model. 

A solution to this is as follows. 

1) Create a drop down asking how many cars you have

2) Create 3 grouped sections that contain colour, make, model 

3) Add rules to show/hide sections 1-3 based upon the drop-down number

4) Ensure that the XML being mapped to have a section like this:

<Cars>
  <Car1>
    <Colour/>
    <Make/>
    <Model/>
  </Car1>
  <Car2>
    <Colour/>
    <Make/>
    <Model/>
  </Car2>
  <Car3>
    <Colour/>
    <Make/>
    <Model/>
  </Car3>
</Cars>


5) Map the content of each form section, which are distinct, to each of the XML sections which are also distinct. 

You just need to remember in the rules where you hide a section to also hide any questions that are mapped within a section to make sure data isn’t saved that shouldn’t be.
