Hi, I have a RG and a multiline input and multifile uploader within each cell, and a save button outside of the RG.
However when I hit save button and trigger a create a thing new, it simple don’t have a choice for linking back to the multiline input and multifile uploader inside the RG, however if they are outside of the RG, they show up as choices in the create a new thing.
Thanks
you have to save the whole rg and the list, create a custom states, set the states list of texts and list of files to the rgs stuff, then create a new thing, that should normally work
thank you moon, how to save the custom states value with create a new thing, for instance create a new thing specify a data type and fields add/=, then how to link custom state values to the field
there are multiple ways depending on what fits best for you, you will probably need two triggers to add something to the custom state and remove it, yo you would have a list and set the stae for add like this: Custome state :plus item/minus item to add whatever is in the repeating group or to what index of the repeating group you want to refer to, you can also set the entire repeating group as a custome state and only refer to current cells index so that would look something like Button clicked - custom states list item# current cells index
Hi moon, I’m no sure if I understand what you meant, for example if I save a custom state of an input field of a current cell in a RG, the next step would be clicking a button in that current cell and save that input. So I will trigger a “create a new thing” when “button is clicked”, here’s what I don’t get, create a new thing don’t seems to have an option to link a field = “value of a state”, or should it be field = input field some how, but I can’t find a way to link back to the input field neither when they are inside of a RG (back to square one)
thanks a lot!!
Yes you are right, when I wrote this i was really tired. My fault so I´am owning you an detailed instruction now:
You either do An inputs value changed and then do this:
this will create immediatly a new thing, if you want to specifically says only the last edited row in the repeating group to be saved you would need something like this:
Example setup on the page i used:
if you want to save multiple things, so a list of the repeating groupe you would do something like this, but it depends on the use case:
If you can show or tell me more of your setup feel free to reach out.
You do: state1:list item#(the index/number of the current cell/list or your custome state) and then you can only create a thing for that item with the number 11 for example so if you have an list with about 20 items you would need to refer to the eleventh item if you want a thing to be created by an event caused outside the repeatig group
there are several solutions for that but if youre able to share a bit more, it would definetly help to solve that :DD
yes its usually like that you can only create one new thing at the time, if you want to create mutiple things you either need to create an loop/recursive workflow but i wouldnt reccomend that for now because this could (with the wrong setup) drive up your workload into infinity, if you want to do a loop there is an very simple plugin called Easy loop that works client side
Rock and roll!
