Change filter = to <> dynamically

julio.manfrini · 2024-07-23T14:35:48.636Z

Is there any workaround to make this change dinamically?
What Im been using its a variable state with repeating group conditional to change the data source
Is there a plugin that make it easier?

Thanks

A slightly interesting implementation - you can use the Data API to achieve this. It allows to programmatically get results from your Bubble DB and you can set constraints as well pretty easily. For reference, check out the manual article below

manual.bubble.io

Data API requests | Bubble Docs

This section covers the different requests that you can make with the Data API.

Let me know if this is helpful

Why can’t you use the Conditional tab of your repeating group to change the Data source?

I suppose it might become difficult when implemented at scale for multiple table attributes.

Say, in his example, @julio.manfrini has 3 datatypes he might want to use the = or <> on. If this is set in the conditionals, he’ll essentially have 8 combinations of using = or <> for 3 fields.

Having multiple conditions is better than risking opening up the data API to solve something trivial. Especially if they do not yet understand the risks involved and precautions to take.

This is on top of any additional WU from poor implementation.

thanks, thats exactly what im using.
but some times I have +10 conditionals depending on how the client must filter the report.
I even change my monitor to 4k to have a bigger properties bar
