Dynamically setting the quantity of things in a list relative to a data type's field

Need help Database

Hey Bubblers,

I’m trying to dynamically set the quantity of things in a list relative to a different data type’s field which is also a list but I can’t seem to wrap my head around the best and most optimal way to do it.

Here’s a more detailed explanation and an example of what I wanted to do:

Data type 1 has a list field (list of x)

Data type 2 has a list field as well (list of y)

The data types in lists x and y are different but I want to automatically check how many things are in list x and dynamically create the same number of things on list y

Could easily be doable using repeating groups + list of numbers + orchestra plugin but as much as possible, I don’t want to create the data ahead of time - should only be a state or upon request.

Would greatly appreciate your help :pray:

Or I could also create the things on list y using a recursive workflow and have it run multiple times depending on how many things are on list x. Very doable but do you guys have any other idea on how I could implement this in a different way? I’m somehow sure there is an easier and faster way

If I understand what you are trying to do, I would likely do it exactly how you described there.
