Bubble option set searchbox create new thing - Show in Repeating Group

[dani.ddr]

Hi all, I’m working in Bubble.io and I have a Repeating Group that displays a list of services added by a professional.

Each service consists of:

• Service (from an Option Set called “Services”, selected via a Searchbox)

• Price

• Duration

These inputs are inside a Group, and when the user clicks the “Add” button, a workflow runs “Create a new Thing” to save the data and display it in the Repeating Group.

The Price and Duration fields are saved correctly, and they appear in the Repeating Group as expected. However, I’m having trouble saving and associating the Service Option Set value selected in the Searchbox.

In the workflow, I cannot properly link the selected Service from the Searchbox to the new Thing being created. As a result, the Service value is not saved or displayed in the Repeating Group.

How should I correctly save an Option Set value from a Searchbox when creating a new Thing in Bubble?

without looking at your editor, this can mean one of two things;

1. the “service” field in your “salon-service” data type is text not an option from the option set.
2. Or, it is expecting a list, not a single service.

If the first one, just change the field type or in your workflow choose the options display.
If the second, set a list instead of an item.

hope this helps.

search box gives only text I think, so you will not use it. You will use regular input and values is not empty show a group filtering option set or do a search if it is db item make the whole group max height 40, thus when your results gets bigger it will overflow with nice look. And then you will ask here it is too slow, first letter of the input is fast but others are slow, and you will install a plugin called “instant text plugin”

And you will wonder why native elements of Bubble so bad. Report to them that why searchbox cant do search.
