How to track number of items in a repeating Fieldset?

Topic says it all.  I need to be able to track the number of items in a repeating fieldset so that I can compare that value with a maximum value.

Are you wanting to add up the total number of repeating rows found within a given fieldset? ie total attacks, spells, items, etc.  I'm thinking you would need an API script to do that...  Use case?

Well... the Pathfinder sheet seems to have no problem doing that.  I'm just wondering how it does.  Yes, I want to track the number of items in a given Fieldset.

The PF sheet uses a css counter to increment row numbers starting with "0" as new rows are added.  There isn't an attribute that's holding a value that you can reference. ;-(

You can use getSectionIDs: getSectionIDs('repeating_foo', idArray => { log(idArray.length); // logs number of repeating rows within repeating_foo });

I'm not sure I follow.  It doesn't sound like you want the total number of rows/items within a fieldset...  Do you want total number of items within a given row?  ie # left|max  More specifically the values of "@{repeating_ability_$X_used}" and "@{repeating_ability_$X_used|max}" substitute the rowID for $X. You can use a macro like; Left: @{selected|repeating_ability_-kilsw28i1l3qbzm6ipi_used} Max: @{selected|repeating_ability_-kilsw28i1l3qbzm6ipi_used|max} Since these are repeating items, you cannot link a token's bars to them. BTW: The Pathfinder Companion Script will track resources. ie uses, ammo, quantity, etc. automatically.

Hmm.  I'm just trying to track the number of items in a fieldset because of a homebrew system that allows you to add new feats/abilities by spending points.  We want to be able to track the number of feats/abilities you are allowed based on the number of points you've spent to get those feats/abilities.  That code might just work.

BTW: The Pathfinder Companion Script will track resources. ie uses, ammo, quantity, etc. automatically. Basically for every new item you add to a Fieldset the value should increase by one.  For every item you remove, the value should decrease by one.  It's just a simple counter to track the number of feats you have automatically.  If this doesn't work I can simply implement a manual counter.

As Jakob pointed out, you would need to use  sheet workers (javascript) to count the existing repeating rows and compare that to another attribute value.
