Hi Scott,
If the Repeatable contains another field which is required for insertion,
you could add the "ignore_if_empty" option to that field - for example
elements:
- name: title
model_config:
ignore_if_empty: 1
- name: date
type: Date
Would that work for you here?

Carl,
That would work for me OK.
I did look at that option before my post but couldn't get it to work. My
config looks like this:
<element>
name title
type Text
<model_config>
ignore_if_empty 1
</model_config>
</element>
<element>
name date
type Date
</element>
I have tried lots of variations on this but none of them seem to work. I am
going to change my config to yaml as that seems to be more common but if you
could point out what is wrong with the above config I'd be grateful.
Scott
