I have a thing that has a text field. What I have done as can be seen in the image below, is I have created a repeating group with that text as the source, split: at “.” (full stop). This produces the text with each segment in a new row of the repeating text. Each of these segments is a multiline input.
What I want to be able to do now is to be able to to edit any segment so that when I save, it changes the original text to reflect only the changes made. I am however unable to figure out the workflow. I assume it involves making changes to a thing, but when I apply that workflow it changes the entire text so that the original text becomes just the one segment’s text. I spent the whole of yesterday trying to figure this out but to no avail. Perhaps it involves some sort of regex command?
I think you will need to “re-build” the separated sentences/segments when you save the changes.
You split “a.b.c.d” into
a b c d
If you change c to CCC ie
a b CCC d
When you save the thing again you will need to re-assemble/append the segments ie
a+b+CCC+d
When you split you do not want to lose the splitting character (ie the period “.”) or you will need to also replace the lost period when you re-assemble the segments.
But maybe you already understand that and are asking how to you gather/access all the fields in a repeating group? (and the only ways I know to do that is with a plugin on the frontend or pass a list to an API workflow)
