Repeating Section Attribute Not Being Created

Thoughts?

AFAIK, repeating sections don't create accessible attributes.

Double check your value. (@{skillRanks}+@{skillAbilityMod}+@{skillACP}+@{skillMisc1}+@{skillMisc2}+@{skillMisc3}) I think one or more of your "skillAbilityMod" or "skillACP" might be broken, which is shattering these fields. This is what I got when I made it: I needed to make "STR_MOD", "shield_acp" and "armor_acp", but once those were in, the numbers filled in nicely

The number calculates correctly when viewing the character sheet, it just doesn't create the attribute in the back end like it should, which prevents me from accessing it in the api. STR_MOD, shield_acp, and armor_acp are in a different section of the page, and those attributes exist. Functionally, it should be no different from the weaponTotalAtkBonus in the second code section I posted.

Do me a favor and remove it from the field set, and see if the number works then. It shouldn't matter, but if it doesn't work, then we'll know the problem is something else.

Remove which specifically? The select list and the acp check box? Or the skillBonus?

Samuel T. said: AFAIK, repeating sections don't create accessible attributes. The attributes are definitely accessible. Rolls, however, are not.

The problem with <fieldset>s is that they don't initialize until manually initialized. So, even if you put a default value in a field, it's not really there until you manually enter it. So, chances are, because you can't manually initialize the field (because it's disabled), it's not really going to be available. If you want to test it, put the skillBonus field outside of the field set and have it calculate using: @{repeating_skills_0_skillRanks}+@{repeating_skills_0_skillAbilityMod}+@{repeating_skills_0_skillACP}+@{repeating_skills_0_skillMisc1}+@{repeating_skills_0_skillMisc2}+@{repeating_skills_0_skillMisc3} If that works, then that is the problem, the calculated field, while displaying properly, isn't being initialized. Of course, that will only work after you manually enter values in all those fields. Then, you can go and cast a vote in support of repeating fields being more fully supported in character sheets . :)

@G V. : If that's the case, then why do my weapon total bonuses work? They're disabled as well, and cannot be manually set.
