Display the same data a specified number of times within a repeating group

We have the DB(No. , Name, Number of Times).

We want to make labels .(below picture)
IF print button is pushed, set state DB, and
show popup print, display RG.

How can I set ?

hey @bri.bubble01,

The way I’d so it is by looping the RG twice, once to create each label then to duplicate it for the specified number of times. It’s doable with scheduling API workflows or with do once every 5 seconds if you’re on free plan, but it’s slow:

here’s the setup.

interested to see how someone else would do it, actually.

Nice approach. I was thinking on something similar, basically creating a data type that saves the unique entries and using that on RG.
Another possible way, but needs testing, is using Custom States to store the entries one by one and use do when condition is true until max number of reps is not 0.

Interesting! but the problem with using custom states to save entries one by one is that you need to create it as thing first, otherwise it can only hold a string or number as value for each label and it’s too much hassle to process each string later to extract name & number to be displayed in second RG.

RG’s don’t allow duplicate data. The way I usually get around this is to store any necessary data in a list state then extract them into an RG using a filter.

The RG would be of ‘text’ type. To allow duplication each text will be the data’s Unique ID appended or prepended by some other text with a splitter you can use || since it’s just a UID plus something simple.

In the individual cell of the RG, I’ll add a 1px by 1px group that will filter (using Regex) from the list state and store the cell’s data (I usually name these types of groups “CellData-xxx”. I’ll just point the elements in the cell to this CellData group.
