Horizontal repeating group full list - no scrolling - is it broken?

Need help
1

HI All

I am trying to create a horizontal repeating group, but I do not know how many columns will be required other than it is between 2 and 10.

I can see I can do horizontal scrolling, but that’s not necessary and really wouldn’t work for this.

What I am trying to do:

I want to be able to set the repeating group cell size and have it show the number columns based on the number of items/ records I need to show. Example, if I have 5 items it uses 5 columns.

I know I can set the colunm size but it then leaves the space for non used columns rather than use the space available.

Essentially doing exactly what you would do in vertical repeating group in a full-list mode.

Is there a way of achieving this even if it is a hack?

Thanks!

OK So this is as far as I can get it seems. I have 5 elements in this example repeating group, but it only shows 2?

horizontal

This is the setting:

repeating setting

The closest I have gotten is this:

stretch
stretch1094×155 25.1 KB

With this setting:

stretch-setting

It seems the bubble team have fixed this width for some reason but I want to be able to control the max width and no matter what I put in the define Max width it does not budge!

Is this an error/ issue??

Hey @StevenM :slight_smile: I think the repeating group will only ‘wrap to the next line’ when the margin is larger than the default margin (when the page is stretched).

To force the cells to go horizontally, you can collapse the margin by entering a large number for the ‘collapse margins when container is less than or equal to 3000, for example’, and this will make it so the cells will automatically line up horizontally to the next line. In the editor it looks like:

Note: I’ve got a border on the RG, but if you just group the elements in the cell and set the border there, that should look more clean! :slight_smile:

Great!

thanks!

I couldn’t get it to work following your example (2 columns) but as soon as I added 3 columns it worked!

This is exactly what I was trying to do!
