I have created a "Time Sheet" form for our summer school/summer programs employees (EMP-HR-Time Sheets).  In the form I have a collection that includes a drop-down ('.collectionAssignments') that populates from a lookup rule (#3, from the vTSAssignments VIEW).  The drop-down contains the individual employee's various summer assignments.

 

I have tested the form from various PC's with Chrome and IE, from an iPhone with safari, and from a tablet.  I have tested from the "preview" and from the live form.  In all cases, when I add subsequent rows to the collection, the Assignments drop-down in the new row is populated with the lookup choices only about 25% of the time.  About 75% of the time, the drop-down is empty (there are no choices).  When it’s empty, it’s empty every time.  When it’s populated it’s populated every time.

 

After several days of this, I decided to create a hidden drop-down ('.hiddenAssignments'), and use jquery to populate the subsequent collection drop-downs as they were created:

 

    $('#q119 .cf-collection-append').click(function() {

      $('.cf-collection-block ul').each(function () {

        $('.csstime input').attr('type', 'time');

        $('.totalhours input').attr('readonly', true);

 

-->     $('.hiddenAssignments option').clone().appendTo('.collectionAssignments');

 

         Alert(‘Im here’)

      });

     });

 

This is one of the variations I've tried, having tried about 15 others I found in stackoverflow, etc.  Nothing has worked so far.  I have used alert(‘Im here’) to trace through the function, so I know that I running each line.

 

Question 1 - why would the drop-down be blank on subsequent collections?

 

Question 2 - what do you recommend I do from here?

Has anyone see anything like this in regards to their issues?

Thanks!
