Bullets-and with a repeating datafield

Hi all,

I have 2 repeating datafields (#board^appointment-per-party = number AND #board^appointing-party = text) and want to make a “bullets-and list” of it.

I tried many different ways (@bullets-and();{AND |}; *AND; …) but none of them seemed to work.
We finally came up with the below, which works well, but may be overkill? What could the easier solution have been?

Thanks,
Tom

This seems to me like the right approach.

I understand your feeling about it possibly being overkill, but this is exactly the reason why repeating lists are so difficult to deal with (and why we don’t want to add them to ClauseBuddy’s Smart Templates) — and here you’re actually combining two repeating-lists with each other…

With those repeating lists you so often find yourself in this situation, where the legal problem is very simple to understand, but the technical implementation is quite hard. With even the tiniest additional requirement you would even find yourself in a situation where you need to invoke a full-fledged programming language to output what you have in mind; and even in such programming language it’s often not trivial to write.

So yes, understand what you’re feeling, but I can confirm that this seems like the right approach to me.
