I have a group within a repeating group cell.
I’m using this group as a button to select the cell and add it to a list state on the repeating group. This is working as expected.
When I submit an entry, the list is writing to the database as I need, however, when I try to reset all of the elements in the form, I cannot see the repeating group to set it’s custom state back to ‘no’ so it deselects.
No matter which way I try to access this group from something else (including on a ‘when a condition is met’ workflow), I am unable to access this element…?
I have repeating groups with elements in other areas in my app that I can access without any problem, but cannot with this. I have removed the repeating group and tried creating again but it did not solve the problem. Has anyone had this same experience? Been able to resolve it?
Thanks for the response Emmanuel.
I’m not quite following. When you’re referring to context, do you mean that the group refers to the ‘current cell’?
The group inside repeating group cell refers to the cell as its data source. Is this the context you are referring to or is there something else I am missing?
no, the element that you’re in the context of. For instance, if a button is clicked, if the button is inside the repeating group it’ll be able to refer to the group, otherwise not.
Can you share your app and show where this situation is?
Ok. Thanks Emmanuel, I get what you’re saying.
I’ll email support to share my app as I’d like to get some advice on some different approaches to this as it’s really important that I can reset these selected values after the submission has been made.
I made a drawing (on pen & paper) to help illustrate what I’m trying to build
So here’s the deal…
I’m trying to build a collapsable menu with my repeating group. Here’s a drawing of the default state of the menu. It is a simple repeating group with a simple text/group inside
When I click the “plus sign icon” next to Header 1, I would like to reveal another repeating group of Subheaders beneath that header. Here’s a drawing of what that might look like
How can I set this up? When I try to put a workflow on the “plus sign icon” I cannot access the groups inside the repeating group. Should I make changes to a database field and set conditional show/hide setting on all the groups to show when that database field is a certain value?
Hi @twr2105 and @lyndon.apthorpe I think this can be done using nested repeating groups and collapsible groups (similar to @raymond’s example widget below)
Here’s an example I made in the forum app of your mockup design (not sure if I’ve got the data structure part 100% correct but I think it works )
)
