Clicking on item in repeating group to view that items details

When a user clicks on an item in a repeating group I want it to show the details of that selection in either a popup or a hidden details section (hide the repeating group and display the hidden details section…then a back button to go back to the list/repeating group and hide the details section again). How do you pass the data of the selected row/item to the popup or hidden details section to populate the details of that selection?

Hopefully that makes sense…appreciate a point in the right direction to accomplish this.

Hi there, @RevivalApps… as long as you make sure the type of content of the popup or the hidden details group is set to the same type of content as the repeating group, you can send the current cell’s thing to the popup/group, and then you will have access to the thing’s fields/data within the popup/group.

Hope this helps.

Best…
Mike

Makes sense…but how do you send the current cells thing to the popup/group? Hidden variable or custom state or?

Yeah, using “send to” was not the best verbiage there… sorry about that. You could set a custom state to the current cell’s thing when the thing is clicked in the repeating group, and you would set the popup’s/group’s data source to the custom state.

Further to @mikeloc’s summary, if you want to see someone do it, here’s an oldy-but-goody video from yours truly:

Aside: Obviously, my attempt to make this info more easily found in search was a failure as this is easily one of the top-10 questions asked by new Bubble users (particularly those with no prior programming experience).
