So without using a html container and JS, I’ve successfully set up a workflow using a repeating group in Bubble (print screen below), where clicking on a repeating group cell sends the text from that cell (e.g. “Perseverence hahaha”) to the user’s profile. The end result being that the user has just added the attribute “Perseverence hahaha” to their profile 
And you are correct in your last sentence. Pressing on the repeating group cell sends the text in that cell to the user’s profile . So the only problem with this repeating group solution is that the repeating group cells are of same width and don’t adjust to texts of different lengths. Hence, the HTML container and JS approach.
