Does anyone know how to specify multiple instances of a subform to be added? I want to click a button and have 12 instances of a subform added instead of just one. I have looked in the documentation but can't seem to find anything that will tell me how to do that.

You can simply repeat the order for this action as often you need it.
Works fine, but looks terrible :-/

_MySubform.instanceManager.addInstance(1), _MySubform.instanceManager.addInstance(1), _MySubform.instanceManager.addInstance(1), ...

More professional is the following method. :-)

var oSubform = xfa.resolveNode("MySubform");oSubform.instanceManager.setInstances(12);

Thanks radzmar. The second method looks good. I ended up using a for loop.

/*
for(i = 0; i < 12; i++)
{
mySubform.instanceManager.addInstance(1);
}
/*

Or something like that. I'm trying to go off memory since I'm at home and don't have my work computer that has the form on it.

Thanks for the suggestion and help. I will give the second option a try.
