Creating repeating groups but repeating tables fields instead of content

Need help
1

Repeating groups are usually used for displaying several rows of data that are nested under one field within a table on a page.

I’m trying to find a way to explore whether it’s possible to display the first item of several fields across a RG.

For example, I have a table with 5 fields each with some data within the field:

Table 1
Field A
– data
Field B
– data
Field C
– data
Field D
– data
Field E
– data

Typically, I’d use a search for command expression for the container group Search for Table 1 or Search for Table 1:first item

These will bring up specific data for that field, however many rows of data exist, and then I can use constraints etc to get what I want.

In my use case, I want to display all of the above on a page in the front end using RGs. So somehow the expression needs to Search for Table, but instead of :first item or each item's Field A for example, I want to display the first item of all fields in Table 1, that is, fields A to E. The specific elements on the page would indicate where about I’d display the actual fields’ data.

Hey @JS7319!

From your explanation, I understand that you have a table with 5 columns and you want to display the content of these columns in your repeating group.

With a structure like this, you will be able to achieve what you want:

And the text field will point to the table field you wanna show:

You can see the final result at:

Is that what you want to do?

Thanks for the reply @tonare

So row 1 to 5 should only show the corresponding fields for that row. So in your example, instead of showing Fields 1 to 5 in each row, it should be Row 1 showing Field 1, Row 2 showing Field 2, etc.

If I’ve misunderstood maybe a screenshot of the table might help me see what’s being displayed from the table.
