I have added a database entry (in development mode) and set up a Repeating Group to search. However, whilst it has been a few weeks since my last bit of Bubbling, I can’t for the life of me figure out why it is not returning as a result (i.e. no results are returning).
I have the RG hidden, but another group which should show if the first entry is not empty, and it’s not showing. I have also tried it within the RG cell itself with the RG not hidden… Definitely not finding the database entry.
I have tried deleting the db entry and adding a new one, and I have tried with multiple db entries, but still no luck.
Am I missing something obvious here?
Any ideas most welcome.
EDIT - forgot to add, I am logged in as that user… the one it is assigned to.
In your search, try to replace “contains” by “is”.
Also, as long as the RG is hidden, it will not load its data.
What I suggest, if I can, is to add a state (check the list checkbox) to your page, with type = “Touch point / To do”. Then you add a Workflow “page loaded” in which you add the action “set states” that will populate the list state of your page with the “do a search for”.
Then, set your RG data source to this state. This way, when the RG will be visible, the contents will directly be there.
I think the replacement of “contains” by “is” should make things better. Give a try ans let us know!
OK well, forget. I didn’t noticed your database screenshot.
I see the “User assigned to” field set with an email address. Could you plezmzse confirm that the type of this field, in your DB structure, is User? If it is, replacing the “contains” of your search by a “is” should help. Else, if ever the User Assigned To field is of type “text” (or email), you have to options : 1) replace the field type by User, 2) do your search by using Current User’s Email (for the 2 search constraints).
Nope - no conditions. It’s definitely not that the element is not showing… It’s definitely that the RG is returning no results, and I can’t figure out why.
Add a group somewhere in your page, out of the RG, and populate it using the same search than for the RG. In this group add a text element, and get the Parent group’s User’s Email displayed into.
We’ll see if the problem is around the RG, or around your dabatase
Unfortunately nothing showing. The group should show my email, but again nothing. The text element shows if I simply use static text, so no issues with displaying or visibility. Must be a db issue. But even then, I have tried several different database entries.
Strange, I don’t understand why the date you use to sort the results is greater than the modified date of the db item. Also, the format of this field imdoesn’t seem to be a standard date format.
My 2 cents : remove the sort field.
If no result, remove the Actioned by field of the search, keep only the field with data in the DB (assigned to field).
But what’s weird, is that if the sort date field has been set at 4pm, the modified date should be at least the same, 4pm, not 2pm…
I added a button to create a new entry on press. That worked. For some reason, when the creator is App Admin it was not showing. All the details were the same. Very strange, but got there in the end. Thanks for your suggestions and efforts.
I think I had the same issue a few days ago. When you add a data type and create a RG and see the preview it doesn’t show anything for such Repeating Group. Well, there’s a setting causing this issue that I found by myself and this is how I fixed it.
Go to Data panel > Privacy settings, for some reason there could be a privacy rule which set the data type as “private”. All you have to do is remove, change or delete such private rule setting and make sure your data type is marked as “public”.
And that’s it. Your RG should show on preview as usual.
Please let me know if this is the issue and this note helps you.
