Dynamic fields with repeatable entries
How do I use dynamic fields when trying to retrieve entries from a repeatable section?

A repeatable section becomes a sub-form. It should show up in your drop-down list.

None of my repeatable fields show up in the dropdown list as separate forms.
The fields I want to dynamically populate from are listed as entries from the form i want to select from if I choose it, but do not show or populate in the form with conditional logic.
Lookup fields show all entries for the field, and conditional logic for look up fields does not give me the = to "anything" choice as is used with dynamic fields.
Even if they did show up as separate forms, conditional logic would not work as the the sub form would not contain the field I am using to filter the entries,
It used to work, not sure why not now.

To be clear, in a form or in a view?

This is in a form. The views work well. One form is populating dynamic fields in another once a "job number" is chosen.
When you go to "form B" and you choose a job number, it will populate the dynamic fields based on that choice from "form A" My problem is that if those fields are repeatable in form A, the fields do not show in form B.
Hope this clarifies. Cheers and thanks for your input.
I may have to figure a way to use the dynamic default value and a shortcode to accomplish it.

I did some testing with what appears to be positive results.
My feeder form (Form A example):

My actual form (Form B example - Feeding from Form A):
