LIsting a datatype in repeating group

vamshisy · 2020-11-01T23:51:27.371Z

Hello,
I have a database with few contact info data types
the way I created is
“Name” is a list of names- text
“number” is a list of phone numbers- number
“email” is a list of emails- text
but when I want to show them in a repeating group they all come in one cell but i want them in different cells…

it shows like this:

name, name, name, name, name…

number,number,number.number…

email,email,email.email…

but i want to show it like this:
name
number
email

name
number
email

this information actually varies on the different type of locations the current user assigned to… so I’m using this expression in RG data source:
“search for currentuser’sassgnedsite’sname”
“search for currentuser’sassgnedsite’snumber”
“search for currentuser’sassgnedsite’semail”

i searched for this topic who has the same issues but found no solution.

Hi @vamshisy, welcome to the Bubble.

The short answer is: you need to use Repeating Groups. I’m guessing you’re having that name,name,name... issue because you’re using Groups instead of Repeating Groups (or RG for short).

The long answer is: this is a core Bubble knowledge block that you will need for everything you build.

I’m not just using groups but using groups in repeating groups… anyways I managed to fix it by creating another datatype and adding those fields in it. thank you for the response tho.
