Getting Individual Scores inserted into a Repeating List?

adam39 · 2025-02-17T11:50:06.360Z

I have a repeating list with various options for inputs from the user within each cell/entry:

Checkbox A
DropDown A
DropDown B

I need to submit the results from all of the rows in my repeating list into a results data table.

How do I get the individual results for each row in my repeating list into my results data table? It doesn’t list the Checkbox or DropDown’s in the “Create a New Thing” element.

I have a feeling this is very basic but, today, I cannot see the wood for the trees!

Thanks!

Are there any takers for this (BUMP)?

The reason you don’t see those inputs when you create a new thing from (I’m assuming) a button click outside the repeating group is because you don’t have access to individual cells from outside the RG natively.

A few options:

Start/edit a workflow when the input is changed. That keeps you inside the cell, so you can reference cell elements, values, etc.
Add a save/submit button to the cell. Same access as above, but you’re making the user take an intentional action to trigger the record creation.
Use a plugin like Orchestra to workaround the Bubble limitation and gain access to cell info from an outside trigger.

With the first 2 options, you’ll need to be aware of users changing their responses. So, when they change/submit, you need to check if the record has already been created. If so, you’ll want to edit the existing (otherwise you’ll end up with duplicate records). This all means you have some conditions to set up!

Thank you so much! I am using a combination of storing scores locally in the Row/Cell and adding or updating Scores in real-time, rather than with a Submit button running through an overly complex Backend API Workflow.
