Can't find repeating group in the element panel

Hi everyone,

I’m a complete beginner working on my first app. I’m trying to add a Repeating Group to my page to display a list of data, but I cannot find the element anywhere.

Here’s what I’ve checked so far:

  • My page layout is set to Column.
  • The Repeating Group is not listed under the Containers section on the left panel.
  • Using the search bar in the element panel for “Repeating Group” returns no results.
  • Double-clicking on the page does not bring up a palette where I can find it.
  • I have done a hard refresh of the editor.
  • I have tried creating a new, blank page, and the issue persists.
    Thanks

You don’t have RG inside Mobile editor.
You will need to use the “Shot list” component…

Repeating Groups are not compactible for mobile. If you want to have a view display a list of items, you can set the view type to Vertical List. You can also add elements before the list and after the list.
But if you really need to drop a list inside, you can use the Short list element
Hope this helps

Same as @miracle.

It may also be worth your time taking a look at some of the Bubble documentation for native mobile apps. There’s a helpful section explaining what the differences are between web vs. mobile development and why you’ll notice differences in the Bubble editors (e.g., views vs. pages, short list or vertical list vs. repeating groups, etc.). Essentially, mobile development in Bubble requires a bit of a different way of thinking about groups and elements than building a web app in Bubble.

Thank you everyone, I really appreciate your advice. I wanted to create an app for a mobile so it seems I am stuck with it looking that way. I will use the Short List option (thank you for that advice) and I will look at the training you have suggested. Good luck with your missions and thank you for your help.

I do have a different issue if you wouldn’t mind helping. I am trying to use the Date/Time Picker. I placed it in the app but when I run it and click in the section, a blue line is shown around the area but no calendar pops up to choose a date? Any ideas why this would be the case?

It only works on TestFlight or if you test it on a real cell phone, it’s a native element! Really guys, it’s better to take a look at the documentation first otherwise this forum becomes full of useless questions (since there is a well-structured documentation and even a course on YouTube) :slight_smile: It’s not to be taken as an offense, I hope I explained myself :slight_smile:

Fully understood - thank you
