Drag/Drop Form Input Field

Hi, I’m having a hard time saving placeholder to the correct input field in my drag/drop form. I believe the issue is how I’m setting up the workflow in search for formfields.

Hey @preciseapproach :waving_hand:

Welcome to the Bubble Community! :tada: :confetti_ball:

Hmm :thinking:

You shouldn’t be doing a search for the Form Fields. You should be referencing it somewhere in the workflow. What does the top workflow look like? Do you have that set up properly?

Hope to help you out. :blush:

Thank you for your response! What do you mean top workflow, are you referring to the element event as shown here?

I mean this:


this is all I have

So are you trying to change something when dragging and dropping or just when you change the value in an input?

yes, placeholder text in an input by way of another input

building a drag and drop form builder and have been stuck on this issue for a while now. This is what the front end looks like

It seems like maybe you aren’t displaying the data in the right side part? You should be able to do something like, make changes to a thing. Then the thing would be the parent groups data. Does that make sense?

Yes, I’ve tried parent group data and it didn’t work even though the group focus input has the data source set to parent group form field

Have you tried using the Inspect Tool and Step By Step Tool to debug what is going on? That is usually the best way to see what is happening and why something is not working. :blush:

I’m still not sure after looking at it

I will still try to see if I can assist, but just as a note. You might benefit from a coaching session:

Let me see if I can set up an example for you in the mean time.
