Never tried a repeatable inside a repeatable. A block element (belongs_to rel) inside a repeatable blocks works.

I am using FormFu with Catalyst to load a very complex form. I am testing a repeatable within a repeatable call to the database and it is failing to

Organization -> has_many -> Person -> has_many -> Equipment

An Organization (table) has many Person (table) records.
A Person (table) has many Equipment (table) records.

  * I can display the Organization record.
* I place the related Person records within a repeatable element and
    they display fine.
* I place the related Equipment records within a repeatable element
    and they display fine.
* I place the related Equipment records within a repeatable element inside of the Person repeatable and they will NOT display any data.


It does however display the right number of Equipment records, but the
fields are all empty.

It seems to me that the "sub _fill_nested" routine is the part that won't populate the fields. HTML-FormFu-Model-DBIC seems to have pulled the data from the database accurately, but it will not put the data into the fields. Perhaps it is because it doesn't know how to interpret the new fieldname
with the extra underscore and number?

example:
<input name="persons.equipments.equipment_id_1_3" type="hidden"
id="persons.equipments.equipment_id_1_3" />

Last time I looked (this was a year ago - so things might have
changed) FormFu was not fully recursive - that is it officially only
supported one level of nesting.  I've managed to make part of the
methods to be fully recursive - but not all of them - so now it
confussingly sometimes works  and sometimes not.
