Validating a field on submit

I suppose you could use ValidationGroup settings on your fields and buttons... just make each ValidationGroup unique per your current location in the array you're using to generate the repeated section. I've traditionally avoided validationGroup on buttons since it works a little clunkily (such as, the "required" asterisks are no longer shown when a field has a validationGroup), but it would probably work here. If you can't forego the "required" asterisks, my main alternative suggestion would be to simply disable the button in a particular section unless the required fields are filled. Then you just set the "validate" parameter of the button to FALSE.

Mike, the goal is that there is a list of items, but the user can only approve one of them at a time. The following screenshot shows what the interface looks like.

What do you hope to accomplish in using a repeating list of pickers and buttons, where all buttons submit the form? Because the form will still be submitted regardless of which of those buttons you click. Why wouldn't you have the individual fields save into a list, and then have the user submit the form based on a single submit button when you've determined through on-form logic that a sufficient number of picker fields have been populated?
