Displaying unique text values in a Group that’s in a RG

[wesendafrica]

I am new to bubble and can’t seem to figure this out. Any help is appreciated.

I am building a funding app and want to display unique request types and all associated requests. Basically, requests group by request type. Ideally, the request type should be a separate table but I just need to keep it simple for now.

The bubble design has the text in a Group which is inside an RG. I tried using :unique elements on the Group filter without success. I read other posts that suggested changing the Group’s Type of Content to Text, but that did not work either.

Thank you for taking the time!

You need to change Both RG and Group to be type of text. Search for request’s type field: unique item.

Or consider review how your DB is set by using another DB thing for type or Option set for type

@Jici thanks for the quick response. Still doesn’t work. I get the prompt below to revert back to type request.

Can you share screenshot of the setting in RG?
You also need to complete the Do a search by selecting the text field that contain the type. You cannot just stop at the Do a search

What field within the Request data type is the text? “Search for Request’s Text” or whatever you named the text field. That’s what @Jici is saying.

@BrianHenderson Thanks for your response. However, Bubble isn’t giving me the option to "Search for the Request Type, the Request data type text.

Here is Request data type definition:

As shown in the “Do a Search for” dropdown, Request Type (the text) isn’t an option.

Do a search for Request’s Request Type:unique element. You need to complete by selecting the Request type field before :unique element

It works! Thanks for all your help.
