What's the exact version of your Workflow Server?

Hi Nathan -

Last year we were using WF 9.1 and we also had an issue that sounds similar.  In this case, we needed to capture as many as ten names from a form.  The idea was to use an approach like:

FirstName_(Index 1)

FirstName_(Index 2)

etc.

And so on.  But we could not get this to work, and ended up naming each field with hard coded names (FirstName_1, FirstName_2) and mapping each field to a token, and then testing to see how many fields had been filled out.  Iterating through an array would have been elegant, and was our original idea.

Hopefully, that is fixed in 9.2.

Miruna,

I apologize for the delayed response as I've been out of the office.  The customer is using Workflow 9.1.1.381

Bill,

Thanks for the work around.  Sadly, that won't work for this scenario due to the dynamic nature of the data entry.  I have to be able to only fill out the exact number of fields that are also filled out using LF Forms.  There will be additional information added to the PDF form later in the workflow process.

Thanks to you both!

Hi Brian -

Happy to try to help. ;-)

Nice form by the way. It looks like you have to accommodate a variable number of sets of fields, with no upper limit. I'd agree with Miruna, and try to get the table feature working in 9.2, and/or open a case.  There are work arounds, but that's all they all. If tables still does not work, I'd consider posting the data from the form to some database tables, where it may be easier to organize and count the result sets. Then you could take things from there.  But that's still a work around -

I've discovered my issue.  In the Fill Out PDF Fields activity there are two tabs; Individual and Table.  For this activity, they cannot be used in combination; you must use one or the other.  By clearing out all items in the Individual tab I was able to successfully use the Table tab and fill out fields properly as Miruna described.

Thanks to all for your input!

I am having a similar problem but am using a collection instead of a table.  (The data being recorded is lengthy so a table wouldn't be practical).  To populate the PDF form with workflow I'm using %(Getformdata_CodeBook_All#[1]#), %(Getformdata_CodeBook_All#[2]#), %(Getformdata_CodeBook_All#[3]#) and so on.  The form will accommodate up to 6 codebooks.  If I fill out all 6 the PDF populates correctly but if I only fill out 3 codebooks the last 3 fields populate with the value in the 3rd field.  Is there any way to fix this?  Thanks Sandy  See the attached examples
