Jr.count not working for repeat questions

Support
1

I have a form which has a repeat question, I want to limit the number
of repeats based on a previous question, for example, How many kids do
you have? I want the answer to that question to be used as the value
for jr:count in the repeat question, so that I can have that many
repeats of the repeat questions like Kid Name, Kid Gender and so on.
I also tried using the count(.) in the constraint of the xform and it
did not work.
Any help will be appreciated.

thanks,
Steven

hi steven,

i believe this is because of a bug in the version of javarosa-core we
use in the collect 1.1.5. this should be fixed in the next released
version of collect.

if you'd like it fixed sooner, you can replace the javarosa-core.jar
in your custom build of collect with the newest version from the
javarosa site and it should work just fine.

Now that Collect 1.1.7 is out, can I just get some confirmation that this
bug was fixed?

When is the next version of collect being released and will my device
auto-magically download it when it is ready?

I checked out the latest code and replaced my current (v1.1.5)
javarosa-libraries jar with the one from the new code, and on testing
discovered that the problem still persists. jr:count (used together with
jr:noAddRemove) still does not work.

thanks for trying this out, steven. i've filed a bug at
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/detail?id=247 and i'll be
following up with the dimagi folks to see if the problem is in the
core.
