Some variables have a special property: when generating a document from a template, one line will be added to the document for each value stored in the variable.

For example, let's say we have a directory of cars:
https://s.pfx.so/pf/Cz/mX8rXO.png


We need to add the make and model of each car to a table in a document. We set up a template with the variables we need:
https://s.pfx.so/pf/q4/VGWW6s.png


In the document, there will be as many rows as there are entries in the list:

Rows are multiplied in this way for variables that can store a list of values:
*Variables for [[Data Tags| data tag]] fields 
*Variables for [[Set of directory values | set of directory values fields]]
*Variables for '''task files''' (example)
*Variables for custom '''file''' fields (example)
*Variables for subtask fields (example)
*Assignee variables

 
== Important == 
There's a difference between how documents are created from Word templates versus Excel templates:
*when creating a document using a Word template, new rows will only be added if the variable is inserted into the table;
*when creating a document using an Excel template, rows will be added regardless of where the variable is inserted.


== Additional information ==
Since the size of the final document may change when using variables that automatically add rows, there is a special mechanism for inserting stamps, signatures, and other images, which ensures that they are placed in the right place in the document.
