Closes #5469
What has been done to verify that this works as intended?
I've tested the fix manually with ODK Collect and added automated tests.
Why is this the best possible solution? Were any other approaches considered?
The problem was that in nested repeats we weren't able to check the relevance of an inner group if its parent group didn't exist yet. It caused an NPE. This is a small fix and probably there is nothing to discuss here.
How does this change affect users? Describe intentional changes to behavior and behavior that could have accidentally been affected by code changes. In other words, what are the regression risks?
It should just fix the issue and have no side effects. It's a small fix so it's rather safe but it would be good to play with nested repeats more in the future. I will add that to the todo list that we use with the QA team.
