Question

I am getting duplicates of my array, and wrongly displayed cells in this method:

Here I am initializing the array, and adding it to the tableView:

NSArray *sectionsArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"Location", @"Front Post", @"Front Fixing", @"Front Footplate", @"Rear Post", @"Read Fixing", @"Rear Footplate", @"Horizontal Bracing", @"Diagonal Bracing", @"Front Beam", @"Front Lock", @"Rear Beam", @"Rear Lock", @"Guard", @"Accessories", @"Comments", @"Off load ref", @"Loc Empty", @"Loc Affected", nil];
[_tableArray setObject:sectionsArray atIndexedSubscript:2];
[_tableView reloadData];

For some weird reason there are always the 4th object that is messed up, and is either duplicated, or do not have the views from IB. Here is the cellForRowAtIndexPath: method:

- (UITableViewCell *) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    UITableViewCell *cell;
    if (indexPath.section == 2) {
        cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"EntryCell"];
        cell.tag = indexPath.row;
        UILabel *label = (UILabel *)[cell viewWithTag:3];
        [label setText:[[_tableArray objectAtIndex:2] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
    }
return cell;
}

I have logged the string [[_tableArray objectAtIndex:2] objectAtIndex:indexPath.row], and it logs the right string.

Remove cell.tag = indexPath.row;

Because you are reusing the cells and assigning the tag will confuse it. For example, for 2nd row you assign tag = 2 and then when you scroll down you assign tag = 6 to that same row.
