Using local variable to add a section calling another interface on a button click

khaleda0073

I had created an interface that calls another interface. Also, I had created a counter as a local variable that is incremented by 1 every time a button in the interface is pressed. On every button press I want to add a new section that calls the child interface. My problem is that on the first press only the child interface appears! So here is the code if you can help me

a!localVariables(
local!count: 1,
{
a!sectionLayout(
label: "Click the button to add a new Customer Currency section",
contents: {
a!buttonArrayLayout(
buttons: {
a!buttonWidget(
label: "Add new section below",
icon: "plus-circle",
value: local!count + 1,
saveInto: local!count,
size: "SMALL",
width: "FILL",
style: "PRIMARY"
)
},
align: "START"
)

}
),
if(local!count<>1,a!sectionLayout(
label: "",
contents: {
rule!C_CustomerCurrency(ri!Currency)
}
),"")


}
)

    )
    },
    align: "START"
    )

    }
    ),
    if(local!count>0,
    a!foreach(
    items:enumerate(local!count)+1,
    expression:
    a!sectionLayout(
    label: "",
    contents: {
    a!textField(
    label:"test"
    )
    }
    )),"")
