I am trying to edit Individual texts in a list of texts, for my specific situation the list of texts is Gift Card Codes.
I am displaying the list of texts into repeating group, with the current cells text being displayed as the initial content in an input form. What I am stuck on is saving the new updated input as the updated text in the list of texts, or just creating a new list of texts from these inputs that i can overwrite my list with, however one may go about it.
I canât seem to get that to work either. When the repeating group is set to âlist of textsâ, then you click âAutobind to parent groupâs thingâ it tries to edit the âlist of textâ which is incompatible. Is there a way to Autobind it to âCurrent Cellâs thingâ so that it only edits the single text??
There must be something Iâm missing⌠When I click auto bind it doesnât give me any options for what to bind it to, it just says the parent element is not modifiable i would assume because the input is for âtextâ and the parent type is âlist of textsâ for the repeating groups.
Hereâs some screenshots for clarification. The first is highlighting the input line in the cell, the second is highlighting the group of repeating cells.
Yes, its not possibleâŚSince its bubble there is always a workaround . Follow the steps below
Make 2 Repeating Groups (You can keep the outer one as transparenet i.e no color) so no one can see it - Outer group will point to âSearch for Data Typeâ
Inner group - RG002 will search the List of Text within the First cell (In your case Gift cards)
Inside the RG002 (Inner group) keep 2 Inputbox (Red for holding the original text in hiddent/disabled mode) green for changing the values
Red & Green must show the same value by default as this -
Now here is the diversion -Goto workflow and make this
INX Changed is the field where you want to Edit the Gift Card Number
Once the gift card is changed, Workflow will be triggered and will delete old value & put new value in its place
Thereâs an easier way to do this without needing a second repeting group and in a single worflow step.
Create your repeating group as you did (just the one that shows you the list), set the data source to the list of texts from whichever Thing you have this list added to.
Add an INPUT to the RG cell, donât check autobind (just like above)
Create a Workflow for âWhen Input Changedâ (just like above)
Now in the workflow add a âMake Changes to a Thingâ. The trick is to find the item # on the list to remove the old item and replace with the Input value. Like this:
Hi ,
Iâm stuck in a similar but with some particularities, I have to edit a list of text which is âsplit byâ in a RG, which is itself inside another RG ?
I tried the worflow of @razvan but I canât select my multiline input inside the child-RG and not even the child-RG in the parent RG, in the workflow âDo whenâ !
here are my 3 elements from the Parents RG, child RG to multiline input:
