Help creating a new 'thing' (been stuck for days!)

Need help
1

Hi everyone,

I’m creating a CRM style app - within this app I have a ‘Competitor Feature’ list. Similar to G2 for those that are familiar (Repeating Group of user-input competitors with their features listed).

My problem is: When I click ‘Add Input’ I want to add a new Feature to that specific competitor.

What actually happens is that it creates an entirely new competitor, as well as populates all competitors with this new feature.

When I click between each competitor (on the left-hand tab), sending the data to display that competitor’s info works fine. However, for some reason when I want to add a new feature or even change the input (Make changes to a thing - parent group’s competitor - Feature = this inputs value), it still changes each feature for each competitor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

@J805 @adamhholmes @net-tt @tobixzybolumole @ademiguel any ideas as to why?

Thanks again

Your condition is not correct. It basically will always be true that way. That is why it keeps creating a new one each time. You need a check if the parent group competitor is empty. If it is empty, create it, otherwise make changes to a thing.

Does that help? :blush:

You need to add the condition if the parent group’s competitor is empty and not empty

@tobixzybolumole @J805 thank you both for the pointers. I have another pop up ‘Create Competitor’ which allows the user to fill in the competitor details so I don’t want the feature button to create a competitor whatsoever.

Is there a way that when the user ‘adds feature’ it relates to that specific competitor?

Thank you!

This is what I mean. Shouldn’t the workflow somehow ‘Create new - Parent’s Group Competitor - Feature’?

Right now, creating a new competitor adds an entirely new competitor.

So you want to make changes to a thing instead?

I just want to add a thing under the relevant competitor.

For context:

Overarching data type = Competitor

Under Competitor:

  • Features
  • Website
  • Logo
  • Name

Etc Etc.

I have no issue with anything else, it’s just adding an additional feature to the RG/list

I think you must have another workflow triggering somewhere else then. Use the step by step to see where the create a new thing happens. You can follow the workflow to see what is happening and why.

Maybe consider coaching? NoCodeMinute

There we go. So check if the parent group is empty. :blush: Click on the blue text.
