Additional Information

This is by design and the expected behaviour. When no appearance is set on a repeat, the first record for the repeat is created on load (as 1 of 1). This record is valid regardless of whether or not values have been entered into the repeat's questions and this record will be submitted to the feature service. In order to not create the first record in a repeat on load, apply the 'minimal' appearance to the repeat. With the minimal appearance the user must first choose to add a repeat record (using the 'plus' button). A record will only be added to the related table when a repeat record has been added by the user. This record will be submitted even if there are no entries in its visible fields. This is the expected behaviour for both the field app and the web app. Currently there is a known issue with the field app not submitting an empty record when no appearance is used.
