Cannot find Group's custom state when nested inside RG

When a user clicks an item in a RG, a popup appears that presents a ‘detailed’ view of the record that was clicked. One of the properties of this element is a List of Things. So the database structure of the record looks something like this:

  • Parent Thing
    • Field 1
    • Field 2
    • Field 3
    • List of Children

This popup allows admin users to edit the information of this record, including the information of the List of Children. Here is how the popup used to be structured:

  • Group Parent with custom state
    • Static information, visible by default (hidden when Group Parent’s custom state is changed)
    • Editable form, hidden by default (visible when Group Parent’s custom state is changed)
  • Group Child (first item in list) with custom state
    • Static information, visible by default (hidden when Group Child’s custom state is changed)
    • Editable form, hidden by default (visible when Group Child’s custom state is changed)

This structure was functional. Now, I want users to be able to edit any record in the List of Children under the Parent Thing. So I have nested the Group Child in a RG that shows all of the Children under the Parent Thing. So the structure now looks like this:

  • Group Parent with custom state
    • Static information, visible by default (hidden when Group Parent’s custom state is changed)
    • Editable form, hidden by default (visible when Group Parent’s custom state is changed)
  • RG Parent’s List of Children with pagination
    • Group Child (item X based on pagination) with custom state
      • Static information, visible by default (hidden when Group Child’s custom state is changed)
      • Editable form, hidden by default (visible when Group Child’s custom state is changed)

This structure is not functional because when I create conditional expressions to hide the static elements in Group Child, I cannot find Group Child to create an expression, let alone its custom state. Is there a rule to nesting custom states that I don’t know about?

To my knowledge I do need a custom state on the Group Child to be able to prepopulate the editable form’s fields with data from the appropriate Child record, so I’m open to suggestions on how to solve this. If I can ditch the custom state entirely and still be able to prepopulate those fields, I’m happy to do so!

It was a bug! I didn’t change anything and am now seeing the Group Child and its custom state appear in the conditional expression box.
