• Click Add Elements.
• Scroll to Layout and select Repeater.
• The field will appear on your form with a default table layout.

Configuring Repeater Field Properties

• Columns: Add fields to act as columns within the table (e.g., Name, Quantity, Price).
• Minimum Rows: Set the minimum number of rows the respondent must fill.
• Maximum Rows: Limit how many rows a respondent can add.
• Add Row Button Label: Customize the button text, for example, “Add Item”, “Add Participant”, or “Add Entry”.

Using the Repeater Field

• Respondents can click the Add Row button to add new entries.
