My home view has a list of events, but I can’t seem to find how to set the data source for the target view to show the event details. What (probably obvious) thing am I missing?
Hmm. That is odd. So to be clear, you have:
- a View with an
EVENTproperty - a Group within the View set to data type
EVENTbut cannot set the data source as theEVENTproperty from the View?
If you add a text element to the View that is View Event Detail's EVENT, does it let you do that? If so, even though the text element will throw an error, you can copy the expression of the text element and paste it into the data source for Group Main and see if that works

Hey, that worked! This has been driving me crazy, thanks for the tip.

I’m curious why the view property isn’t showing up as an option when you go to set the data source for the group. I was able to do just that on a test app where test view has a property of type City, and then a group on the view of content type City can accept test view’s city as the data source.
Is there something unique about your setup?
I just deleted the existing group in View: Event Detail that wouldn’t let me add the data source. After adding a new group, I was able to enter the data source correctly.
Did you copy the group over from web, or have the group on the view before you added the view property by any chance?
Cutting back in here to say I think you’re onto something here.
I just added a new property to a view and tried to set the data source of an existing group in the view, but it’s not allowing me to do so.
Does it work after a refresh?
I didn’t when I initially tested, but thankfully, it’s not an issue for me. I was just trying to help debug 
I copied everything over from the web, this was the only portion that had an issue. Also, fixed when I simply created a new group on the view and copied over the dynamic elements from web.
