Hi guys. I’ve posted a few times in the forum now and the last few have not had any replies Hopefully someone will reply to this one.
I’ve made a repeating group and would like to be able to copy the data from it (and some other fields) in a way that can be pasted into an email. Nothing fancy, just the data extracted from the group and displayed as plain & simple text for copy & pasting from any web browser.
I’ve got it working for a couple of rows of the repeating group, using “Item #1” etc. That’s fine and I don’t mind repeating that code a few times to achieve what i need - but tbh the bubble editor makes that rather painful. Would be nicer to be able to edit the code in a text editor but that doesn’t seem to be possible…
But the main question is …
The method i’m using is flawed because the number of rows in the repeating group could vary. Pasting the code 4 times is fine if there are 4 people in the record but no good there are 8!
So is there a better way for me to achieve this?
I’ve attached a couple of images to help explain what I am doing.
Hope someone can help
Cheers
Bdk’s RG tool and utilities paired up with the orchestra plugin sounds like a good suite of tools for this.

One way to do it is by using the ‘format as text’ option (that way you only have to input the expression once and it will display for each item in the repeating group)…
So in your text box enter Repeating Group TrackWriter(Join)'s List of TrackWriter(Joins)s:format as text
Then in the next window that appears, in the content to show box, enter the expression, i.e: This TrackWriter(Join)'s PubShare
% - This TrackWriter(Join)'s ConnectedWriter's Name
(CAE This TrackWriter(Join)'s ConnectedWriter's CAE
) and so on…
Then in the second box (Delimiter) just press enter to create a linebreak so that each entry will display on a new line.

Thank you I will look into these plugins! So many amazing bubble addons out there i’ve hardly scratched the surface.
Thanks so much for this amazing answer! I just tried it and it works perfectly. For my current needs this has 100% nailed it. Thanks again!
Now I wonder if there is a method for forcing a field or text into the copy clipboard :-). I will look

This solved my issue too! Thank you for that!
I’m facing another problem with this now, the list that I have formatted as text have a some conditional contents and another repeating group nested inside of it. How can I configure to convert all of this in text, including the conditional contents?
