Place the same item repeatedly
Item fields on forms such as the product name, quantity, unit price, amount, and product code are printed repeatedly on multiple lines within a fixed frame of the form. You can use the repeat feature to repeat the display of the first line of these fields in a vertical or horizontal direction so that there is no need to set each field separately.
With repeat, you only need to set the field property of the repeat source field.
You can also include newly added fields in existing repeat item after you set up the repeat item.
The repeat feature allows the first row to be used repeatedly instead of all the fields to be placed one by one. You can use this feature not only for fields but also for barcodes and static texts.
