I’m building a Yelp-like business directory, as someone with zero coding experience and a first-time Bubble user. There’s one issue I’m having I cannot find a solution for:
On my homepage, I added a Searchbox so that users can search for a listing or a category (i.e. company A or “italian” category) and see both in the dropdown/autocomplete. However, I’m not able to have my dynamic choices contain both a data type AND an option set. I tried a Bubble-bot recommended approach, which was creating another data type called “Combined Search,” and that means creating a “Listing” field that’s a “Listing Type” and a "Category field that is “Category” option set. But I couldn’t follow through with this approach because the steps diverged from what I saw on my screen, particularly this step:
1. In “Choices source”, you’ll need to create a custom expression. Click on “Insert dynamic data” and choose “Make a list of”. Then:
• First, add all Listings: Search for Listings
• Next, add all Hairstyle Categories: Get all Hairstyle Categories options
The “Choices Source” option doesn’t show up for me, here’s what I see:
I used Claude to troubleshoot the issue and got the same step recommendations. Bubble bot told me to check my app’s privacy rules and I did, all the data types (except user) are fully visible. So what’s going on here and how do I fix it? I’ll also take another approach if that gets me the result I’m looking for.
