Known Limit
After review by the development team, it has been determined that this issue is related to a known limitation with the software that lies outside of Esri's control. The issue's Additional Information section may contain further explanation.
Additional Information
This is a known limitation of note question types. As a note field is a read-only text field, the value cannot be re-calculated. If the note field is changed to a text field, a re-calculation button appears when the value changes.
The calculation in the repeat for ${populationComp_percent} uses a value from outside the repeat for ${total}, which in turn is a total of values from inside the repeats. Every time a new repeat is added, the ${populationComp_percent} must be manually updated for each repeat record as its value was correct at the time it was originally calculated for the repeat that was visible at that time. When a new repeat record is added, it is not designed to be automatically updated in previously collected repeat records like in many cases as this would cause the wrong behavior and data loss.
