Hello,

Is Bubble capable of the implementation of an “extend” component as pictured in my diagram? I want to be able to show a certain number of items in my repeated group, but allow for more items to be shown if the extend arrow is clicked. Is this possible in Bubble?

I don’t think you can edit the number of rows and columns with a conditional but you could have a second ‘expanded’ repeating group and when you click expand set a state of yes/no to yes. Then put a conditional for the ‘expanded’ repeating group to show when the state is yes and the original repeating group will hide when the state is yes. Just be sure those repeating groups are grouped together and the parent group check the box ‘collapse the element’s height when hidden’.

Here is an example:
