Repeating Fields Madness

To assist with this we've made bad rows universally be highlighted with a red box around them. You'll needed to delete these red highlighted repeating sections and replace them with fresh copies. Ed S. said: Has there been any progress on this issue? I ran into it the other night using Chrome. When adding a new repeating section the field jumped up the list and got lost in the shuffle. I wasn't able to find it until I closed the sheet and reopened it. Deleting and starting over is not an option as I have used the repeating sections of dozens of sheets to store hundreds of macro codes that I don't want to loose. This issue specifically had to do with repeating sections and radio buttons, which are prevalent on the 5e sheets. It only happened when repeating sections were deleted and re-added without closing and opening the character sheet. It was introduced when we made our repeating section improvements. The issue should now be resolved and should happen in the future. You shouldn't need to change anything in order for the fix to happen. If there are any other outstanding issues with repeating sections that aren't fixed by these two changes, please let us know. Nothing has changed for me. Every time I add a new repeating section to an existing sheet it jumps up and gets lost in the previous items. This is only when using Chrome, Firefox shows the correct order and doesn't jump up the sections when adding a new item. I can't use Firefox because it lags too much to be useful. I sent a PM with a link to the campaign. I just did a test in Firefox and added two new repeating spellbook sections on the character "Warlock-0" under the Spellbook, Cantrips and they ordered properly in Firefox. When reloading the campaign in Chrome they are in a different location on the list, seemingly random in number up the list, but not at the end like they should be.  So there is still a problem.
I confirm there still is a problem. The test case I left for you to test, as well as all the sheets I made, have this problem: the sort order in Chrome is random and changes each time a new row is added, whereas the same sheet in Firefox or Safari is ok. I asked all players not to use their sheets until this is fixed. I gave all the info to check the bug in the other thread.
I must also point out hat I'm the original poster of this thread, and nothing has been solved for me in the last three weeks. I don't know when this thread became about 5e sheets or any other standard sheet, but as I pointed out again and again, my sheet is a custom one, very simple and with no script workers. Here is the post where I give all the info about how to check the problem out with my sheets:&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/2791898" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/2791898</a>. So, as the original poster of this thread, if problems were fixed, they were not the original one on this thread. Could you please take a look at it? Very quick: open the sheet in Chrome then open it in Firefox, see the difference.
Steve K. said: Shaffi I. said: I have the same problem, its pretty annoying. I'm in the middel of creating the next adventure and everytime I add a monster or character with 2 or more attacks the attacks get swapped, replaced or existing values from the attack before. Don't get me wrong I love roll20 and the&nbsp;possibility to play with friends which I don't see very often, but this issue leaves a bad taste especially when you pay and there is little information and updates. Your issue is an old one that was fixed a couple weeks ago. For a short time, a little over a day, there was a bug introduced that created repeating section IDs in all lower caps. In order to fix the bug you'll need to delete the offending rows before normal behavior will return. To assist with this we've made bad rows universally be highlighted with a red box around them. You'll needed to delete these red highlighted repeating sections and replace them with fresh copies. I don't see any red boxed rows in the character sheets. Although if the issue is an old one, why does my new adventure path have exactly the same kind of messed up character sheets. I use to different pcs to add characters and play the game, each of my player had to create a new character sheet, to see if the problem was gone (yesterday) and after ~30 minutes each of them got problems either attributes were incorrect, the ac was broken or a shitton of attacks appeared in the sheets.
I think that there may be more than one thing going on here. I think that what would be best is to separate this discussion into a separate discussion grouped by sheet. Because for example the Pathfinder sheet is using Sheet Workers which may be interacting with the repeating section in weird ways, whereas other sheets (like Mike's) are not. There was also an issue affecting the 5E Shaped sheet which we think we fixed which may have been totally unrelated to both of those.&nbsp; So I've started two new threads: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2817726/repeatin" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2817726/repeatin</a>... (For the 5E Shaped Sheet) <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2817721/repeatin" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2817721/repeatin</a>... (For the Pathfinder Sheet) This thread will revert back to its original topic, which was Mike's custom sheet. If you have posted in this thread and it's in regards to another sheet, please go ahead and make a quick post in the new thread for your sheet so that we can sort through this and figure out what's going on. If you are using a sheet that there isn't a thread for, feel free to follow my template and create a new thread for that sheet.

Very quick: open the sheet in Chrome then open it in Firefox, see the difference. I took a look at your test case and I think I was able to isolate the problem. The sort ordering should now be consistent for all browsers. Let me know if there are any other issues your sheet is having since the update. Sorry for the delay in getting that fixed.
That fixed it for me with the Standard 5e character sheet so hopefully it would be the same for Mike. Thank you!
Hi Riley! Thanks a lot. It is really fixed. I was on the brink of despair. I didn't want to redo all my sheets from scratch. Thanks again. I'm curious as to what it was and especially why it was browser-dependent? Mike

I'm curious as to what it was and especially why it was browser-dependent? Mike The code which was determining the order that the rows should be placed in had some undefined behavior apparently that was inconsistent across browsers which only happened when it was mixing "old style" IDs (e.g. 0, 1, 2) with the "new style" IDs (e.g. -ABC1234). Not sure why it was different between Firefox and Chrome, but I just re-wrote it to rely less on the browser's built-in functions and to instead be more specific about what I wanted it to do.
I'm going to go ahead and close this thread and mark it as Resolved since the original topic has been fixed. As I said, please post in one of the other sheet-specific threads if you are still having issues, or feel free to make a new post for your specific game/sheet if there isn't one for it already. Thanks!
