Expandable tables with user entered values that change to a Protected state after adding an instance of a subset of pages

Using a subset of two pages, I have programmed a 2-page dynamic form to "Add an Instance" of said two pages by clicking a button. Basically the 2+(dynamic) pages can repeat in proper order infinitely. On page 1, I have a table with repeating rows which works fine. The issue is that I need this table to show the user input values in the repeating rows when another subset is added BUT (here is the kicker) make it cumulative. So if the user added 2 instances of the row and put values in these 2 repeating rows on the #1 subset of pages, I need these to change their state to protected and keep the values on the #2 subset but have the table still be expandable below those values. If the user adds 2 more values on #2 subset then all 4 rows with user input values show up protected on the #3 subset of pages and so on. Because of the cumulative nature of this particular form, all user added values need to stay in proper order. This was hard to explain so please let me know if I need to try again. My file is at the link below.

Does anyone know if this is possible or maybe willing to check it out? This might be beyond the limitations of Designer but I wanted to run it through you guys first.

Hi @nowackem, sorry that I did not respond to this earlier. Real life and work did take all the time I would have for things like this form.

I did attempt to implement your logic. At first it looked as if I was succesful but then I realized that on the following sections I did get the wrong sums, the dependencies between the various sections and sums proofed a bit more complex than I had thought initially.

So far I have no solution for you that fits into this form. And at the moment I do not have so much time to invest in this. When things quiet down I can have a look again, but that might too late for you.

Regards

Kosta
