Re: Alternative to MS Word Connector (Premium)
Sure!
In so far as repeating sections are concerned, I don't necessary mean that it can't be done whilst still primarily using the same code and template in the blog, only that I essentially didn't / don't know to back then. However per the guidance on the Word Online (Business) web page insofar as how to implement repeating sections using Plain Text Content Controllers within the parent repeat content controller. That was in essense what I struggled with last. Seeing it now implemented with same overall technique, perhaps the solution I shared, it "may" be possible to use that pattern for repeating sections.
Per the MS Word connector documentation, a property (or properties) need to be added to the document. As such, it is quite possible is that all you may necessarily have to add to the solution I shared, equally add additional metadata fields to the list to store the values for the content pertaining to the repeating sections.
"If the number of rows you want is dynamic, then user should make a array of values and pass it into the repeat field. For example, a valid array for the above example would look like: [{"a": "value for row 1", "b": "value for row 1"}, {"a": "value for row 2", "b": "value for row 2"}]" - perhaps this syntax would equally work if added to a custom Single line of text and/or Multiple lines of text columns added to the list/library.
Interestingly with the solution I shared both Date Picker Content Controls.and Check Box Content Controls are supported whereas with the MS Word connector they are not 🤗
I may just test this out myself because now I somewhat interested LOL
