"data source cannot refer..."

So the app is working, but I can’t deploy it to live because apparently I’m referring to the same element? I’ve set it up like this before, but now it doesn’t let me deploy

Any idea why?

Getting never before seen errors now

My app is live in a certain state, and suddenly I’m getting errors on elements that I didn’t touch. I had one before about referencing its own object or something along those lines that I saw a mention of in the forum. Now I’m getting this: [image] Data source cannot use an element that refers the the current element, in conditions. That sounds clear, but I have no idea why this is an issue now.

Thank you Steven. This is definitely interesting.but why do I get the issue on one but not all the other repeating groups?
I don’t understand which part is referring to itself
The repeating group should show users. Those are filtered (e.g. “current user’s friends doesn’t contain this user”)

• I don’t have it in the conditions. I have it in the appearance
• I do what Emmanuel says: appearance= do a search for

Here a the editor: https://bubble.io/page?name=index&id=whowho&tab=tabs-1
It’s in: Match Group (copy)

• here a picture of basically the same setup, just without constraints in my profile group
  What is the difference? Is it really the constraints?

Nevermind. I just rebuilt exactly the same and now it didn’t show any issues.
Like… literally the exact same that I posted at the very beginning. Guess it was a bug on Bubble’s side after all.
Thanks for the heads up to the other post though @StevenM . Might be helpful in the future!

I know you pain, some times its just something staring you in the face and doing it again fixes it.
