Hello everyone…
Is it possible to display a list on a repeating group, each item on an individual cell?
For instance, I have a list of references of a Datatype (ID), which this reference contains a bunch of fields and I want to use some of them.
But right now the repeating group displays all items on a single cell
is it possible to separate them in each cell?
Thanks
Fabian
Yes of course (that’s the general point of a repeating group)
Each cell holds a single thing from the list defined as the datasource.
When I have a list of things and I use repeating group, every item displays in one cell. How can i split them? I tried split by… but I haven’t done it properly I guess
You don’t need to split them - as I said, a RG holds a single item from the list in each cell.
So you just refer to the current cell’s thing to display data about it.
From what you’ve described, you must be defining an additional list inside each cell, and displaying data about each of those items, rather than the current cell’s data. So don’t do that (unless that’s your intention).
Maybe I have explained myself wrong.
For instance Datatype User has a field named Favorites and is a list of Vehicles
I want to display in Repeating Group in each row (or cell) a Vehicle.
Right now everything is in one cell.
I hoped I have explained myself well 
Thanks for your answer
Yes, you’ve explained yourself perfectly well…
and I’ve given a perfectly clear answer.
I’m not sure which part you’re not understanding?
And then why everything is displayed in one cell?
I already told you…
If everything is displaying in each cell, it’s because you’re defining a list inside that cell.
A repeating group, by definition, repeats whatever is inside the cell, in every cell.
So if you define a list inside the cell, which doesn’t have any specific constraints to the cell’s index or object, you’ll get the same data inside every cell.
So that’s what you must be doing.
As I said, you don’t want to do that - rather you want to only refer to the current cell’s data.
If you’re not too sure what repeating groups are, or how they work, maybe take some time to get to grips with the basics first:
Well, I guess I know what Repeating Groups are.
My first question was Is it possible to split them if is a list in a cell?
And I understood that you said it is possible and I was wondering why it doesn’t happen to me.
As I said, you don’t want to do that - rather you want to only refer to the current cell’s data.
I wanted every user to see a list of their favorite vehicle. And I thought to put a field in the User datatype which contains a list of vehicles.
Anyway, thanks.
I Resolved it…
Evidently, you don’t… or this would be simple.
My first question was Is it possible to split them if is a list in a cell?
I don’t understand what yo mean by that? Why would you need to split them if you’re using a repeating group (that’s what repeating groups are for, and how they work).
I wanted every user to see a list of their favorite vehicle. And I thought to put a field in the User datatype which contains a list of vehicles.
Exactly… so this should be as simple as loading the Vehicles into the Repeating group and displaying data about each one inside each cell.
Again, I’m not too sure where you’re missing the basic understanding here, so feel free to share some screenshots of your set up if you want some specific guidance as to where you’re going wrong…
Otherwise, just spend some time learning the basics of how repeating groups work and how you can use them do display lists (which is exactly what they’re for) as it’s very simple once you understand how they work, and how to access the data inside them.
Thanks, I solved it
Hello, i experience the same situation and don’t understand the answer given too…
Got a list of text “Feedbacks” for a same “Place”, and i have all the feedbacks in the same cell… can you tell me how you finnaly did it please ?
My situation is a little different
I want to display a list from the database, but the repeater group is taking the total number of cells and repeating only the first information in all cells
This image shows how it is saved in the database
This image shows how it is being displayed to the end user
These two images show the configuration of my table and cell
Can anyone give me some help?
