Hi! I’m a beginner in Bubble and I’m struggling with Repeating Groups.
I have:
- A Repeating Group with type “Escola de Mergulho”
- Data source: Search for Escola de Mergulho
- A Group inside the cell with data source = Current cell’s Escola de Mergulho
- A Text inside the group with dynamic data
However:
- The list does not show anything in preview
- I’m getting confused with multiple Text elements
- I’m not sure if I’m editing the correct cell / group
- This is blocking my progress and confidence
Could someone please explain:
- How to correctly enter “edit cell mode” in a Repeating Group?
- How to know for sure which Text is inside the cell?
- The minimum setup required for a simple list to appear?
I can share screenshots if needed.
Thank you very much.
I’m a non-technical founder and this is my first app.

@lsegirassol Welcome to the community! This is super common, so don’t worry.
To edit a repeating group cell, just double-click inside one of the cells (not the header). When you’re in the right place, you’ll see a blue outline and the breadcrumb at the top showing you’re inside the cell.
For a basic list to show, you only need:
- Repeating Group type = Escola de Mergulho
- Data source = Search for Escola de Mergulho
- One Text element inside the cell with something like Current cell’s Escola de Mergulho’s name
If nothing shows in preview, make sure you actually have data in the database and that privacy rules aren’t blocking it.
If you share a screenshot, it’ll be easy to point out exactly what’s going on.

I’d guess right away that it could be privacy rules.
Check the example below @lsegirassol to see if you have any rule:
When you created the table, you might have left the checkbox to automatically create privacy rules enabled, or something like that. Take a look and see if you have any privacy rule in your table. Or if any rule might be incorrect. If everything looks right in the privacy rules and it still doesn’t work, you can share some screenshots of the search in your repeating group.
Thank you so much, Carlos! I’ll do it the way you suggested. I’m stopped exactly at this point right now, and my neurons are already crashing into each other 
. I’m new to this and I honestly confess that I’m almost giving up on my project. But I’ll follow your tips and let you know how it goes afterward. Thank you!!

Thank you! This really helped clarify things. I’m new to Bubble, so this kind of guidance makes a big difference. I’ll review the privacy rules and data setup and will share a screenshot if needed.
