Nested Replicatable Datum Group?

bbasie

I am trying to create a nested replicatable group that has 2 datums in it. This wont validate when I try to save. Is there something wrong with my code?
I've put comments around the group and 2 datums I would like to replicate. Any help would be appreciated!


Here is my code:

{Data}
{Datum ID="heading" Name="Main Heading" Type="String"}Hot Advocacy Topics{/Datum}
{Group ID="topics" Name="Topics" Replicatable="true"}
{Datum ID="topictitle" Name="Topic Title" Type="String"}Accountable Care Organizations{/Datum}
{!--how to replicate these as a group?--}
{Group ID="Article" Name="Article" Replicatable="true"}
{Datum ID="articletitle" Name="Article Title" Type="String"}Link 1{/Datum}
{Datum ID="articlelink" Name="Article Link" Type="PageLink"}{![CDATA[#]]}{/Datum}
{/Group}
{!--END how to replicate these as a group?--}
{/Group}
{/Data}

You'll have to rethink your design and/or capture your data in DCRs and refer to them with a DCR datum.
