I’ll Paypal $50 USD to anyone who can successfully help me resolve this :slight_smile: I’ve been trying for a few days with no success

I have a multiline input in a repeating group, which displays texts from a list of texts. Each item of text from the list outputs into a different multiline input in the repeating group.

I want the user to be able to modify these multiline inputs, and then press a “save” button, and then it updates the list of texts according to the users’ modifications. Each multiline input should correspond to an item in the list.

I have been able to output the data into the multiline inputs, by setting the initial content as “Current cell’s text”, and the repeating group data as “Parent group’s (data’s list of texts)”. But when the data is updated by the user in the multiline input, and then I make a workflow for the “save” button to set the list in the database as the repeating group’s list of texts, it simply updates it to the original list of texts, instead of the new data that the user input in these multiline inputs.

I hope my explanation is clear enough, if not, please feel free to ask for any clarifications. Thanks! :slight_smile:

It doesn’t sound possible since you’d have to access data from outside the RG.

Autobinding should do the trick or manipulating a dataset, rather than a list of text to have an element such as unique ID to use as reference.

Try Keeper from Listopia - Listopia [List Handler] Plugin | Bubble

If I understand the problem, you can add Keeper and use it’s (pretty powerful) Add/Remove function to slice and dice up a list in any way you like. This could include a ‘find and replace’ on a list of texts and adding/removing text items from a set list based on either the RG cell index or a pattern match based on the text being edited.

Working with data inside a RG is tricky as Bubble natively struggles to utilise RG data outside of the RG - however plugins like Listopia can expand the base Bubble functionality quite substantially.

And if if this works, don’t give me anything - give $14 to Listopia and then maybe donate the rest to a charity, if willing. I recommend Kiota - they give girls food and better access to education.
