Are repeating sections with identical names really allowed?

In <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/BCS/Repeating_Sections" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/BCS/Repeating_Sections</a> , it is stated that " Each repeating section should have a unique name ", but the section "Duplicate a repeating section name to display the same data on more than one tab or present a summary of the data elsewhere" indicates a trick using repeating sections with the same name. This is a trick I'd like to use (to present a summary) but I'd rather it be officially supported. Do you reserve the right to break this "functionality" or can we assume it is there to stay?

Yes, what the&nbsp; " Each repeating section should have a unique name " bit means is that the repeating sections store their data based on the repeating section name, so you can't have two sections with the same name and expect them to operate off of different data sets. The sheet doesn't care if you repeat a given input, textarea, button, repeating section, etc. It's just going to display the data it has for that thing. The one exception is radio buttons, which don't do well when you have multiple versions of the same radio button (same name property) with the same value. Edit: I should also note that you're going to have a hard time creating a sheet without a pro subscription. All of the roll20 tools to do so are pro perks, and character sheet code doesn't run well on generic web dev platforms (e.g. codepen) because there are several backend technologies going on that are difficult to replicate.

OK, good. I'm editing an existing sheet, improving it marginally, and I created a sandbox "emulator" that does the job correctly for this sheet's requirements so far (the PRs I made worked as expected). I'm currently ironing out the repeating sections, which work fine in their basic usage (add/delete/getAttrs/setAttrs). I'm a bit less confident on the multi-repeating section trick, since it's not used in the sheet yet, so I can't compare with the online version. But I have the spec in the trick description and I think I understand why it works.

Hum, actually it's not as straightforward as expected. Would someone happen to know a sheet that uses this?

The Official Savage Worlds character sheet does. It displays 4 or 5 different repeating sections on different tabs and with different views.&nbsp;

One thing I should have mentioned...it's probably easiest to bring ALL the inputs over from the original repeating section (including their default values) and then just hide the ones you don't need and style the remaining how you need them to look. And by "hide" I mean apply some CSS to them, leave them in the HTML.

Thanks, that helped a lot. Nice sheet BTW. Could you elaborate on your remark? I edited the summary fieldset live in Chrome (I removed some inputs) and added an item in the edition repeating section: a summary row was added with the edited content of the summary fieldset without error. Will I encounter errors if all the inputs are not found in the summary fieldset?

It depends...You can leave some that are not needed for anything, but if you are going to display a button and that button relies on fields as part of the value, if those fields aren't present, I've gotten weird results. So, I've just found it easier to &nbsp;add them all.
