Nov 19, 2019 at 14:24 comment added Psycrow Actually was just being a bit dense, you can assign the output of Repeater to a variable to have it accessible once it's finished running. Am going to experiment with this a bit and see how it handles real world applications
Nov 19, 2019 at 11:28 comment added Psycrow This is interesting, and is the sort of thing that I had in mind. One question, is there a way to do this if I need to interrogate the result of the Repeater? For example, if I'm waiting until there is a record present in the database, but once it's there I want to use the values within the record to do something else. My first thought is to store result as an instance variable, any better ways to do it?
