Simplest thing is to just remove the text in your cell --the “Deliverable” text in the masters. Once you have it styled the way you want, just delete that text. When the repeater loads it sets that text value anyway, so you don’t need it. When the repeater loads, it takes a few ms to run its onItemLoad code for every item in your list (and in all the repeaters.) So, there’s a small delay to change “Deliverable” to the value in the Item.Deliverable cells (1, 2, 3, etc.)
Another way to more gracefully present and update repeaters is to hide them on the stage, then show them onLoad. It makes editing a bit of a hassle to unhide it, edit, then remember to hide it before previewing (but with repeaters you don’t need to see them to edit them.)
On Page 1, I put all your repeaters in a dynamic panel, then put a “hide, wait, then show” sequence in the onLoad event. That doesn’t work because the repeater masters are still briefly shown when the browser loads the page.
On Page 2, I did the same thing, except checked the “Hidden” box for the dynamic panel, so it is hidden by default and not shown as the browser loads the page (at least in Chrome on Windows.) This gets the effect you want.
Now, on Page 3, I deleted the text on your Deliverable item widget. Only I had to do this in a (non-master) copy of your master, otherwise all instances on all pages would be changed, fixing it throughout but ruining my demonstration here. Same effect of the multiple repeaters, but they all load “clean” because their item is clean to start with. I then messed around with table features to demonstrate this to colleagues I work with. This was a good foil to show what can be done with repeaters in a simple way. It also shows some methods for hiding and showing list changes with nice “reveals”.
Notice you don’t need separate masters or separate items to achieve your “active” and “inactive” states. Just use one widget in your repeater and set it’s selected (or disabled) state, as praveen.naga shows above. I did the same thing in the repeaters on Page 3 so you can see how it is achieved.
