Hi everybody,
This is more a question about the software than a request for
assistance: I am using repeated fields in my forms, like in the
following example:
{|
| Africa
| {{{field|country|input type=checkboxes|
values=Angola,Benin,Botswana,Burkina Faso,Burundi,Cameroon,Central
African Republic,Cape Verde,Chad,Comoros,Congo (Democratic Republic
of),Congo (Republic of),Côte d'Ivoire,Equatorial
Guinea,Ethiopia,Eritrea,Gabon,Gambia,Ghana,Guinea,Guinea
Bissau
,Kenya
,Lesotho
,Liberia
,Madagascar
,Malawi
,Mali,Mauritania,Mauritius,Mozambique,Namibia,Niger,Nigeria,Rwanda,Sao
Tome and Principe,Senegal,Seychelles,Sierra Leone,South
Africa,Swaziland,Tanzania,Togo,Uganda,Zambia,Zimbabwe}}}
|-
| Arab States
| {{{field|country|input type=checkboxes|values=Algeria,Bahrain,Brunei

Arabia,Somalia,Sudan,Syria,Tunisia,United Arab Emirates,Yemen}}}
|-
| Asia and the Pacific
| {{{field|country|input type=checkboxes|
values

|-

|-

So the same field is used several times in the same form.
This works fine except for 2 details:
1 - in the source code, I get the relative template's parameter
repeated as many times as the number of identical fields repeated in
form, like:
{{Geographic properties:
| country =Mozambique, Romania, Nicaragua
| country =Mozambique, Romania, Nicaragua
| country =Mozambique, Romania, Nicaragua
| country =Mozambique, Romania, Nicaragua
| country =Mozambique, Romania, Nicaragua
}}
2 - when I save the page, but when I click again on the "edit with
form" tab, sometimes, values previously assigned in field "country"
get deleted, and I have to reassign them before saving the page.
The question is mainly about point 2 (although workarounds for point 1
are welcome): does that happen because fields are not supposed to be
used like that or rather we can call it a bug?
Thanks,
Davide
