Edit multiple lists related to one record in a data type

Hi,

I have a data type called “Rounding Information”. Within it there are three lists of items - a list of people, texts, and rounding roles….and then several other items. I have a table that shows all the different Rounding Informations” and when you click on one, it shows a popup to edit the fields for that given item.

These three values are relational - the first Rounder needs to align with the first Rounding Instruction and Rounding Role….same for the second, third, etc. We will use this data in an external software platform, so that is important.

Here’s my RG (ignore column headers, haven’t worked on aligning yet.

So, what I’m struggling with now is how to update the list of items based on each row of repeating items entered/updated. I can’t seem to get to the nested RGs’ values in the workflow editor, only the top level RG. And if I try to go directly to the input fields (e.g. Rounding Info Dropdown), it’s not an option in the workflow editor.

Any thoughts on what I’m doing wrong or better ways to accomplish what I’m trying to do?

You can just save the data as soon as they edit the value, would that work for your situation? Or is that what you are trying to do?

@J805 thanks for the note. I was also trying auto-binding. A few notes below - if you have any thoughts it would be wonderful. Overall, I’m just trying to have an easy way to enter (in a table format rather than multi-dropdown/tag format) multiple list fields in a single record….and ensure they are saved in the same order.

Maybe the three list fields should live in their own data type and be linked to the Rounding Information Data type….

  1. A free text item in the Rounding Information data type - after enabling auto-binding it says that “The parent element and the page have no type of content or it is not modifiable. Click here to edit it”. I do have auto-bind permissions setup for this.

For the fields that have their own data type linked to the Rounding Information data type, I’m unable to get a “Field to modify” option in the field inside the nested RG:

So from what I can see, you shouldn’t be displaying in the repeating group just text. There won’t be a way to edit it that way. You have to pass along the whole dataType. Then you can edit the value from there. Does that make sense? :blush:
