I’ve created a Repeating Group to create 3 columns.
In this RG is a nested RG to show user infos.
And in this RG is also a nested RG that shows user items.
How to get the current loop-variable from the 1st RG to use this variable in the data source from the 3rd RG to do a do a search for ?
example:
the 1st RG repeats 3 times and I want to do a db search in the 3rd RG data source element an there I want to user the current loop value (1,2 or 3).
I think you don’t need multiple Repeating Groups
Can you send a copy of your app so I can try to do this?
I’m willing to help you, but recreating everything from scratch isn’t possible.
To achieve the desired behavior, you can use what I call a “ghost input”. In each ID, you will add an input and use this element as a reference to get the current_index of the parent ID.
I created this image here to show the example I created more clearly. I separated each ID by color to make it easier to understand.
The rectangle marked with dotted lines marks the RG nesting that I set up in Bubble for this example. I used the arrows to show the value of each of the inputs based on colors.
Hello I’m back,
Okay, I understand that you can’t keep opening the app, but I was curious how the solution to this problem would be and I decided to help you.
Maybe the other guy’s answer is also correct and his is more correct, but it doesn’t seem to follow his example and is more complex
I did what I believed to be your problem with what I understood in your example
“1:
user_name1:
item1
item2
2:
user_name2:
item1
3:
…”
If you just copy and paste it won’t work
You have to change the privacy rules, be careful with this part and seek help if you don’t know what you are doing
please tell me if it was good
here it is
and Yes, I needed multiple repeating groups
but there were only 2 and not 3
One thing I would add to this example you made would be to add an ‘items’ column to receive a list of ‘items’ in the user table. By doing this you avoid the need to use a ‘Do a Search for’ on each element of the RG. This will save WU.
I tried to do this, but I’m still a beginner at bubble, I tried and it ended up not working, I just did another simulation to learn how to use it and I think I can do it now, later I’ll try to change
thak you
You sent the app’s page, try to send the editor’s page (like I did), and put it on view only, so that no one can change the app’s settings and break it
