Question

Within my InfoPath form (which has to be loaded within a SharePoint Portal by the browser)I have a repeating table containing multiple fields. Now I would like to make the first textfield autoincrement starting by 1. How exactly can I do this?

I have already heard of a way by using the ‘count’ function but this produces errors or in best case a static number which unfortunately does not count. The function I have added for the field is ‘count(.) + 1’

Any suggestions?

Let’s say your repeating group is called ‘item’ and your autoincrement field is called ‘index’. The default value of the index field should be

count(/my:myFields/my:item) 

This should count correctly for you.
