<replicant>

woocash

Hello, my first post here...

I'm migrating some DCR's from version 6.0 to 6.5, and am running into a problem with replicants.

A part of my datacapture reads:
<item name="Paragraph">
<replicant min="1" max="30">
<item name="Title">
<label>Blue Heading</label>
<textarea cols="80" required="f" rtf="t" wrap="virtual" external-editor="visualformat" />
</item>
<item name="Text">
<label>Text</label>
<textarea cols="80" required="f" rtf="t" wrap="virtual" external-editor="visualformat" />
</item>
</replicant>
</item>

this is a code from v6 and is giving me an error when I try it in v6.5

I've read the manual and it seems that in v6.5 I can do a replicant on an <item> itself, but i'd like to preserve the structure of the original.
So my question is can the <replicant> tag be placed inside an <item> tag in v6.5? I tried putting it inside and I tried this:

<replicant min="1" max="30">
<item name="Paragraph">
<item name="Title">
<label>Blue Heading</label>
<textarea cols="80" required="f" rtf="t" wrap="virtual" external-editor="visualformat" />
</item>
<item name="Text">
<label>Text</label>
<textarea cols="80" required="f" rtf="t" wrap="virtual" external-editor="visualformat" />
</item>
</item>
</replicant>
but still no go...

Can anyone help, or point me in the right direction (other than RTFM) please?

Thanks
Lucas

You don't use the "replicant" tag any longer. You just place the min and max on the item or container. In your case, I believe you want a container:

<container name="Paragraph" min="1" max="30">
<item name="Title">
...
</container
