Pulling data from one repeat to another repeat

[joesinger12]

I have a repeat group in a group F, a repeat group in a group I, and a repeat group in group J. I have two issues that may share the same source issue/misunderstanding. Overall I want to have values and dropdowns in Table J update as Tables F and I are modified, and I am having trouble understanding how I can make this work. The Issues:

1. I want to filter certain select_one responses from I02c_FunctionArea from the repeat in I to be shown in Table J J02c_PrimaryFunction. In the example, I only want Area Category options to be shown in Table J - I am using index-repeat() to achieve this functionality.
2. Table J has a select_one dropdown J07c_LumName where I want to list all options input possibilities in Table F Fc01_LuminaireName. From the looks of it, it seems the J07c_LumName dropdown from F is set only upon creation of a new J repeat. My Goal is to dynamically change table F to update all the drop downs in J in real-time. Is that possible?

I may have a misunderstanding how to use index-repeat() or a misunderstanding how different elements are linked/updated in the background of the program. Any insight would help!

Thanks Kal_Lam. The interface tells me “Sorry, new users can not upload attachments.” - Do you have a better suggestion for how I can share other than screenshot? Google Drive, perhaps? Thank you for help and guidance! Also, how Can I edit the original post? I cannot seem to find how - the edit icon just sends me to history?
