I gotta say that there are many things I love about Bubble but nomenclature is NOT one of them.
In database terminology, tables are a place to store data and Data Types are a type of data…Bubble has this wrong. Records are individual items in a table, not “things”. And a list is a group of single items, NOT a set of records AND a set of items within a record…PICK ONE. You shouldn’t assign the term “list” to more than one thing.
I know the developers were maybe trying to help non-coders to grasp the bigger issues without having to learn specific industry terminology but how does someone start with Bubble then move into learning industry terminology without bringing along all this incoherent baggage. Or, someone that understands the proper terminology try and decipher what Bubble has done…it’s just stupid and Bubble should move away from using improper language to help non-coders speak to coders, or even to become coders without looking and sounding stupid.
Okay, ranting aside, I followed the ideas in the following video to properly copy records from my “template” table into my “destination” table. This, for some reason, was easier to understand than some of the more seasoned Bubble training videos with “list of things” in their titles and sprinkled throughout their commentary:
