Repeating field bug?

[macmekker]

Hi.

I made a script to tidy up holes in a repeating fields, by moving the next to the one that's empty. But it did not work, so I did some testing.

Set(non-repeating, GetRepetition(rep_field, 3) - works fine

Set(rep_field, "test") - works fine

Set("rep_field"- 2, "test") - works fine ... and so on

even Set("rep_field", GetRepetition(rep_field, 3)) - works fine,

but;

Set("rep_field"- 2, GetRepetition(rep_field, 3)) - (and so on) does not work. It fills in a blank (removes what's there)

Has anybody else experienced this?

Any workarounds?

Try storing the value that doesn't work in a global instead of the repetition field, and then copying the global into the repetition field. See if that works.
