We have looked into allowing the resizing of a repeating section in the row for Classic Forms and found that architecturally, this is a significant piece of work.

This will not be addressed in the current Classic Forms but will be addressed in the upcoming Universal Forms.

Cheers,
Euan

    I have also encountered this problem in recent projects. Do you have a solution?

  • Peter L. commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I have come across this recently as my employer has deemed a project requiring this. The admin states this will be fixed in "responsive forms". I believe this needs to be corrected in "Classic forms" as well. I use Classic forms more because I do not like the limitations of Responsive forms.

    I did open a support call for this issue. This is the answer from them:

    I've heard back from my dev. team on this issue and have done further testing my self.

    In classic forms the repeating section won't shrink smaller than it's initial size when configured on the form. So if you have hidden fields in the repeating section it will not shrink to compensate for the white space.

    I would recommend using responsive forms where the repeating section does compensate for the white space created by the hidden field.

    I do apologize for the incovience. However, this is expected behavior, if you would like to change that you can submit something to uservoice.

    Great Support

    Hi Euan, we won't be using responsive forms to avoid this. We have to use the classic forms for so many reasons.... Can we get it fixed in the classic forms pretty pleeeeeeeassseee!!!!

    This is still appearing on NFO 1.2.4.1 on the pixel perfect designer. Is there plans to fix it?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I just spoke with Nintex support. They said this is expected behavior. In that case, this issue per the comments by Daniel Kinal is wrong, it's not an issue, it should be a feature request.

    If this was logged as an issue 10 months ago, has it been addressed yet? We have the same issue and we are trying to find complex workarounds because the repeating section may have 30 items and the blank space has been duplicated, resulting in hundreds of pages of unusable area.

    I'm curious if this issue has been fixed. We are having the same issue, and the client is not happy.
