Hi
In the below screenshot, when i click on Show subjects, an API call populates the subject in the repeating group. EVery cell has a checkbox and a dropdown also. The checkbox determines if we keep that subject active and dropdown determines the order of the subject.
When we click on Save at the bottom of the page, an API is called which will have all the ticked subjects and their order. How do we access the order in the repeating group and how to check which all checkboxes are ticked?
To provide a bit more detailed information:
In the Repeating group, i have kept the data source as the API call response and the type of content as the data structure returned by the API call. Now, in the workflow section, when i try to access the checkbox or the dropdown, i get only the option for the data structure coming from API response.
Hello,
Sam here, with Bubble support! A few things here:
1.) You’ll probably want to save data to your database based on the user input in the repeating group, and then reference that data when sending the API.
2.) I would use “when a checkbox value is changed” and “when input’s value is changed” workflows on the input elements inside of the repeating group’s cell to trigger the workflows that create and update this data.
3.) After creating the data, you’ll want to store references to it in two different places: 1 reference to the thing itself on the parent group of the repeating group cell. This way, when the inputs value is changed, you know which record to update with the user inputted ID value. I would also add this record to a “list of things” custom state on the repeating group itself. This is the list you can refer to in your API call when the user clicks save.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions, I’m happy to explain further.
