Add Native Repeating Section Properties to Control Add, Copy, and Delete Actions Across Web and Mobile Forms

We use Nintex Forms extensively on iPad devices through the Nintex Mobile app for contract creation and data capture. In our solution, repeating sections are used not only for manual user entry but also to dynamically display data retrieved from tables and external data sources.

Currently, the only way to hide the Delete, Copy, and Add New Row buttons is through custom CSS. While this approach works for web forms, custom CSS is not supported in the Nintex Mobile app. This creates an inconsistent user experience and prevents organizations from enforcing business rules consistently across web and mobile platforms.

Requested Enhancement

Please add native configuration options to the Repeating Section control that allow form designers to:

• Show/Hide Delete Row button

• Show/Hide Copy Row button

• Show/Hide Add New Row button

• Apply these settings consistently across both Web and Mobile forms

Why This Is Needed

Many organizations use repeating sections to display system-generated or table-driven data rather than collect manual user input. In such scenarios, end users should be able to view the information but should not be allowed to arbitrarily add, copy, or delete rows.

Today, achieving this behavior requires CSS-based workarounds / rule based workarounds, which are:

• Not supported in the Nintex Mobile app

• Difficult to maintain

• Not a reliable long-term solution

• Rule-based workarounds still show the buttons, though they restrict the user to add / delete the rows.

Providing native control-level settings would eliminate the need for CSS or complex rule-based workarounds and offer a supported, consistent experience across all platforms.

Business Impact

This is particularly important for contract management and other controlled business processes where maintaining data integrity is critical.

Without the ability to disable these actions:

• Users can unintentionally modify system-generated data.

• Data displayed from backend tables can be altered when it should be read-only.

• Organizations cannot enforce the same business rules on mobile devices as they do on web forms.

• Mobile-first deployments face significant functional limitations.

Adding these properties would provide a more robust, secure, and user-friendly experience for organizations that rely on repeating sections to display controlled business data.
