Display data to Popup

[benjamin.bm.andrews]

Im trying to display data to a popup using the display data workflow but instead of getting the option of current cells thing, Im getting the option Parents thing, so when I go to the pop up I cant get data to come through. The pop up is content is the same as the RG.

Separately to this, I am wondering if this is the best course of action What Im making is for on a mobile display so real estate is limited. The idea of the pop up is to expand the information being provided in the RG and to provide space for icons for an edit button and a delete button. Is the display data option the best way for me to go ahead with that? There is no unique identifier for each entry, would I be best of making one and if possible passing that to the pop up and then using that to identify the data to be deleted/modified?

Hi you can use the pop up option but another option is to use a group and have custom states so that this group is only shown when you select the relevant field you want more information on.

How would I do that? I haven’t done anything with custom states before either. I understand the theory of them but not them in practice in any way

I’m not at my computer at the moment but I will look to put some screenshots together for you later, unless anyone comes up with a solution for your pop up in the mean time.

So i have set it up as an event and my event is my data type. i then have EVENT NAME, event number and Dj as an event field.

I have a repeating group showing this data. on the repeating group I have search for events

My data is then shown in individual text boxes and each text box is set up as “current Cell’s events name” in another text box “Current cells events number”

I have a pop up to display more detail about the event. The Pop up must be set up as Type of Content “Event”

I then have a button to display the individual event from the repeating group into this pop(Event Pop Up) in more detail and the button is set up as the following workflow:
Display data in an element-> Element is pop up → Data to display is Current cells event

I then have another workflow to display pop up:

I then have text boxes within the pop up to display further information about the event and they are set up as Parent groups thing (Events event name) (Events event number) etc

your pop up should now display the data. Let me know how you get on

Thats what Im trying to do but instead of getting the option Current Cells in Data to display, Im getting parents group thing, so the data to display wont work.

Make sure that all groups in your hierarchy use “Parent Group’s Events” as their data source.

This

Or at least make sure that a group data source refers to other group’s data. Like Group X’s Data. Hope this makes sense.
