Repeating issues

Repeating section problems are usually caused by Word control setup, not generation input.

Symptoms

  • Only one row appears when multiple rows are provided
  • Added rows do not render in preview
  • Child fields inside a repeating block are missing

What to verify in Word

  • The row/block is wrapped by Repeating Section Content Control
  • Child placeholders inside the repeated block are content controls
  • Repeating control has Allow users to add and remove sections enabled
  • Parent and child Tag values are correctly configured

What to verify in Templionix

  • In Field tab, repeating control shows child fields
  • In generation panel, repeating section editor contains expected columns
  • At least one row is added before final generation

Good practice

  • Build and validate repeating templates in small increments
  • Test with 1 row, then 2-3 rows, then edge cases (empty/long values)
