Add Instance
In the first image below the user can click on "AC" to add additional lines for comments. When they have completed that they will click on "Add Line" to add a new instance of that line. In the 2nd image the 2nd line is overwritting the additional comments add to the 1st line. How do I position line two and additional lines to occur at the bottom of the additional comments (1 comment or 5+)
Also I need two more buttons
1. Will add line and copy the contents of the line above
` 2. Move line - Up and Down button that will allow the user to reorder the entries.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Niall,
I've taken a different track on this and created a table which seems to work better. I'm stuck on being able to add an instance to just two of the cells.
I've added the + - to add and remove an instance of just "Special Conditions" and "Code". I've tried to wrap both in a subform but can only seam to wrap individually. Through action builder I created and add instance routine but when activated it add the instance to the right instead of below. What am I doing wrong?
Is there anyway to attach my form for review?
thanks,

Niall,
You have really helped me get this form in shape and ready to release next week. I'm stuck on one last piece of functionality - that is when copying the line above (or any line) that it copies the "AC" (added conditions) that are attached to that line number. Any line can have from 0 to 0+ added condtions and those usually travel with the other information on that line that will be copied.
So.....If a line has 3 added conditions and you copy that line those will show on the new line with the exact same "Special Conditions" and "Code". It will be much easier for the user to delete the ones on the new line that don't apply than to recreate them.
Where are you located? I've been to Ireland a couple times....done both the Dublin and Shannon areas. I prefer the golf on the West Coasts and LOVE Lahinch and the town there. Smithwicks's and Guinness taste fine on both coasts!
Thanks for your help - PC

Hi,
Here is the form back to you:
https://acrobat.com/#d=SHlgrYXlbPRZfh3FtgtMiA.
You need a couple of loops to count the number of additional condition instances and then create a sufficient number of instances in the new row.
// count the number of additional condition instances/rows
var nRows = xfa.resolveNode("form1.Subform3.Subform2.Subform1[" + secondLastRow + "]").Cond._Conditions.count - 1; // minus 1 because the row already comes with a conditions instance
// add the correct number of additional condition instances to the new row
for (var j=0; j<nRows; j++)
{
xfa.resolveNode("form1.Subform3.Subform2.Subform1[" + lastRow + "]").Cond._Conditions.addInstance(true);
}
// loop through additional condition instances
for (var k=0; k<=nRows; k++)
{
xfa.resolveNode("form1.Subform3.Subform2.Subform1[" + lastRow + "].Cond.Conditions[" + k + "]").Condition.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode("form1.Subform3.Subform2.Subform1[" + secondLastRow + "].Cond.Conditions[" + k + "]").Condition.rawValue;
xfa.resolveNode("form1.Subform3.Subform2.Subform1[" + lastRow + "].Cond.Conditions[" + k + "]").Code.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode("form1.Subform3.Subform2.Subform1[" + secondLastRow + "].Cond.Conditions[" + k + "]").Code.rawValue;
}
You will have to buy me a pint when you are over next.
