Hey guys, I am trying to hide groups within a repeating group that meet a certain condition. Collapse when hidden is not working and there are spaces left after the groups are hidden. I need help on how to hide the groups without spaces being left. I have attached an image below to demonstrate what I’m saying

Hi there, @design4… this topic comes up pretty often, and the bottom line is that you don’t hide elements in repeating groups and attempt to collapse the hidden rows. Instead, you add constraints/filters to the repeating group’s data source so that only the relevant items are shown.

Hope this helps.

Best…  
Mike
