# Access to Data Within and Outside a Repeatable Block (Managed Package)

For the managed package runtime, suppose you place an element in a repeatable block (a Block or an Edit Block) and you want to access data that is calculated in a different element. The method that you use to access the data depends on whether the element containing the data is within or outside the same repeatable block in the Omniscript. Review guidelines and examples for the Formula element and for the Select element, which is used to add a dependent picklist to an Omniscript.
