i have the same use case as @steinhausler–i want to save the API data to my Bubble DB so i can filter and manipulate it BEFORE i show it. i’d like to be able to save my API call data into individual cells, rather than as a big list. has anyone come up with a good/fast solution to this?
I have a question … what if we have an input field in the repeating group ? I need to save the value provided in the input field to the database.
I’ve created the same in Forumapp3 as an example. In this case i would also like to add comments to the database. however I am unable to assign the input field’s value as a parameter.
Could this also be a generalized solution for entering multi-row API responses into a database? My use case seems pretty routine. Do you know if there is a simple solution?
Do you know if “list to run on” in the Schedule an API on a list can accept a table not just a list from a single field (ie. place)? Also, do you know if “list to run on” needs to run a GET to the external API or can it be a POST response?
My external API r_pair_info is a table (red text). I’m POSTing data from Bubble->R and the response is a table.
Hi @NigelG I have a similar issue, cannot see how to save data from a repeating group list - see
I am trying to save a generated list within the same bubble application from repeating group results.
For example, I have generated 12 Months of dates based on an input from the user. I have added an individual check box, to save each record one at a time, which works. I then added a Check All box, that seems to work but does not follow the workflow and save the data.
It is really hard. I think you can probably do it by creating a list of “inputs” and the associated “row” on a custom state. And then looking it up when you come to do the API call. Maybe.
@samuel I basically did a work around - see example workflow here:
I basically created a list of numbers for a repeating group to reference. So when a client filters these group through inputs, I can then create a copy of the filtered list via an API call to another to list. Basically I wanted the button to create X number of records in a click that is associated with a particular type.
I am then planning to amend those records via Make changes to a list of things, to add ID, which will allow me to add the list of inputs.
@emmanuel a create list feature is so much needed, if to avoid abuse, limit to 50. Otherwise, I am using custom states, which I yet to figure out, how to add to these records after say 12-15 seconds. Meaning that if the API call is slow, then certain records do not get an ID.
On the topic of creating multiple things; in my case it’s not possible to use a scheduled action or invoked externally via API. So I need to create the Things as the users starts to interact with them and simulate their existence before that through Conditional settings. See:
I also needed to show a list (Repeating Group) of Things not yet created(!). I managed to do that this way:
