When repetitionNumber or portalRowNumber is 0, the function behaves as if the parameter was not specified. For portalRowNumber, the function returns data from the first portal row. For repetitionNumber, the function acts on the first repetition (for returning content or source) or acts on the entire field as a whole (for returning bounds). Both parameters are necessary because you must be able to reference a particular field repetition within a particular portal row.
