Today is the first day I delved into using an instrument loop in OPPPID. I used this page as guidance: OPPID: How to create an instrument loop through OPPID however, I couldn't my loop to flow so easily. I had to manual change the numbers on each instrument to match the loop number... from my understanding, once the loop is created, all instruments should auto-number and all the user has to indicate is the instrument type. This was not happening on my machine. It was then suggested that I use the second loop option, the option that allows you to select instruments you've already created and convert them into a loop.. but this seems to defeat the purpose of making a loop. I understand adding a new one or picking one up that got left out of the loop initially, but when I start the loop I would like for the instruments to auto-number. What am I doing wrong? If the loop is not designed to auto-number, what is the purpose of the loop tool. What benefit does it offer?
