Repeat group check box 'make all data same'

[Mono]

I'm not sure the title explains this well, but how do you place a check box (or other control) to make the data entered in one field in a repeat group be repeated on all?

Thank you

You'd need to write some custom Javascript fired from the element.

I wrote this code, a check box located in the repeat group, when checked copies all values of the elements in this repeat group (except any that contain 'id' in the name) into all remaining repeat groups.
It can be used on any repeat group.
Unchecking clears all data in remaining groups.

In the javascript onchange event of the checkbox I put this code

populateRemainingFields(this,40);

Where 40 is the number of the repeat group.

This code is placed in form_X.js

function populateRemainingFields(el,groupId) {
// get the element value ...
var x = el.getValue();


// if checkbox is checked
if (x==1){
  insertValue("no",el,groupId)
  // if the checkbox is unclicked lets remove all the data
}else{
  // if the check box is checked append new data to remaining  fields
  insertValue("delete",el,groupId);
  }
}

function insertValue(remove,el,groupId){
      // get the repeat group on which checkbox was clicked
      var myForm = 'form_1'
      var targetRepeatCount = getRepeatCount(groupId);
      var block = Fabrik.getBlock(myForm);
      // find how many repeat groups are open
      var numRepeats = block.repeatGroupMarkers[groupId];


      jQuery.each(el.form.formElements, function(key, element) {
        //Is this the same group as clicked checkbox
        if (element.groupid == groupId) {
          // do not include id items, add 'id' to element name to exclude it     
          if (key.indexOf('id')== -1) {


              //from key trim off the number of the repeat group and add #
              var targetField = ('#' + key.slice(0, -1));

              //get the value to be copied
              // if the checkbox is checked onclick use the value in the group, if not clear the field
              if (remove == "delete"){
              var targetValue = "" // jQuery(targetField + targetRepeatCount).val();
              }else{
              var targetValue = jQuery(targetField + targetRepeatCount).val();
              }
              //add 1 to group count
              var newTargetRepeatCount = targetRepeatCount + 1 

                  do {
                   //update the rest of the groups with the value
                   //console.log(targetField+newTargetRepeatCount,"=",targetValue);
                  jQuery(targetField + newTargetRepeatCount).val(targetValue);
                  newTargetRepeatCount = newTargetRepeatCount + 1;
                  }
                  while (newTargetRepeatCount < numRepeats);
            
        
          }
   
        }

      });
  }

  function getRepeatCount(groupId){

    // get the DOM object for this group ...
    var thisGroup = jQuery('#group' + groupId);
    // get a jQuery array of all the subgroups in this group ...
    var allSubGroups = jQuery(thisGroup).find('.fabrikSubGroup');
    // get the sub group the button was clicked on ...
    var targetSubGroup = event.target.getParent('.fabrikSubGroup');
    // find the index of the target subgroup in all groups
    var RepeatCount = jQuery.inArray(targetSubGroup, allSubGroups);
    return RepeatCount;
  }

Thanks to Hugh most of the work is his, I just glued it together.
