@Craig_Rathbone, @nminchin, see my answer to [Perspective Text Field Numeric Keypad - #41 by Transistor](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-text-field-numeric-keypad/71229/41).  
There is a secret "index" parameter passed to each instance of the flex repeater and you can use this for a variety of purposes.
