I’ve seen a number of forum posts on this topic without any reaching or providing a resolution, and am posting my problem as I can’t accept there isn’t a workaround. It’s definitely a needed requirement, and for sure seems like it should be achievable. I have an RG that needs a focus group (the sub…

I am assuming the menu is the reusable element that you have placed into the R.G. that is an element on a page. Seems like you want to have an ability to do what? Filter on and Compare functions are performing what task and using what elements? Are those tasks performed on the page or in the R.G. c…

Thank you for the response. Yes, the RE is within the RG. Filter on will filter the RG based on the User who created the post. So a function within the RG.

Couldn’t you put the user as the custom state on the reusable element, and then set the R.G. data source to use that custom state as part of it’s filter? RG data souce equals “do a search for users” with constraints user = this posts creator…you may have the user custom search set when something ch…

Couldn’t you put the user as the custom state on the reusable element, Re the above: yes, no problem and then set the R.G. data source to use that custom state as part of it’s filter? Re the above: Not possible as the RE is not accessible from the page because it is within the RG. To be a we…

@SerPounce , the non plugin way to do this is through url parameters. Have your Filter On sub-menu navigate to the page your RG is on (this will be the same page as the RE when it’s actually used) and pass a parameter of ‘filter’ with the value of ‘on’. Then simply access the filter state with a Get…

Could the RG be a RE? So the menu is an RE, then make another RE which has the R.G. which you then place the RE ( menu )…set up the custom states appropriately…then I believe the page should be able to get the custom state from the menu by way of the RE which is the RG

The issue is that you can’t access a specific cell’s state from outside a repeating group, otherwise he could just set the state on the root of his menu reusable. Adding another reusable into the mix is another layer of complexity without solving the problem. I use both URL parameters and the ‘Env’…

Thank you all for the suggestions. @eli , quick question before I embark on my journey of discovery to solve: Does the URL parameters option require reloading the page? If so, this won’t be a viable option due to load time.

[image] SerPounce: Does the URL parameters option require reloading the page? No, as long as you are navigating to the same page you are on all the ‘page is loaded‘ events will be triggered but the page itself isn’t reloaded so it’s instantaneous.

@SerPounce from my understanding from the new changes from the hackathon just released the page doesn’t reload which is a benefit of using the URL path and parameters…also the sudsy plugin gives clean URLs without needing to reload the page
