Hi All, Anyone aware of why if I have not pushed an update through in months, now all of the sudden every dropdown on our site is showing duplicates? It looks awful and I am not ready to push our update through!!! Will I have to go to every dropdown across our site to fix this? Not happy at all!.. …

We have several dropdowns that pull options from repeating groups. For example, we have repeating groups of athlete’s and the dropdowns filter the list of athletes. A dropdown can have an athlete’s Age Group like “12-14”. Before, our dropdowns would show 3-5 options, such as “5-6, 7-8, 9-11, 12-14, …

An example is if I go to a competition that is 12 months old. All of the athletes in that competition have been locked for 12 mon…

Weird! What is the datasource for the dropdown in this example? Can you send a screenshot?

Based on the wording, I can understand why duplicates are showing. But I promise if the dropdowns looked like this during a meet, parents/users would definitely let us know about it. Also, during testing each day we would have noticed it and fixed it immediately. The attached example had two teams …

I am going to see if bubble has any thoughts. Not really anything we can do but go fix all of our dropdowns and push an update through.

[image] help1: Based on the wording, I can understand why duplicates are showing. Yeah, it’s hard to see how that ever could have worked without the :unique elements operator. Does the conditional have any bearing on the choices source? Could the repeating group’s data source have anything to…
