Collections with an incremental Label

asked on June 19, 2020

I have the need to have a collection for individual demographics of contacts, but without an identifying variable and need to have each of this collection element stand apart from the subsequent elements. We need this to be labeled specifically ( Person 1, Person 2, Person 3) between each of those elements like so:

[Collection]

Person 1

Race radio buttons

Ethnicity radio buttons

Age field

Person 2

Race radio buttons

Ethnicity radio buttons

Age field

Person 3

Race radio buttons

Ethnicity radio buttons

Age field

[Add Another Person]

Is this possible at all?

You can add a field to the collection that is set to be readonly and use the following formula: you can remove the "Person " & part, and simply name the field itself "Person" if you like.

="Person " & ROW()

Thank You, that works.

I notice in the LF Admin Guide help that the ROW() formula specifies that it returns the row number of the cell in a table, which I wouldn't think of using it in a collection, unless collections are some type of specific style table?

Collections are not a styled tables, but they are treated similarly as they hold a set of fields repeated in rows. The variables are stored similar to tables' variables where they hold multi-value fields. Logically each record set of fields would represent a row.
