Repetitive Block

Very important template component making document generation more dynamic. You can prepare a block for one item and let it be replicated as many times as there are items in the input data array. Items in a list and rows or columns in a table are just a few examples.

Configuration

Select the block or place the cursor inside the block's content. Click on the Block Repetition button in the editor's toolbar and a configuration window will appear.
If it's not possible to select the exact element you want to repeat, select a nested element and use the Select parent block button until you reach it.

Data (expression)

Define an array field name or formula using the expression language to be evaluated as an array of items. The selected block will be repeated based on the array items count, and each block's data context will be the corresponding item.

Examples:
LineItems – array field expression to repeat LineItem block
for(1, 10) – expression to generate an array containing numbers from 1 to 10
