it is the expression for the text element in my drag on drop… telling what data of the assigned task there should be displayed… in my case i only want the city of the task workadress to be displayed… and then i will make a workflow that when a task contains a workadress set a marker on the map… and in that way it will make a route with all task for the day per employee

That data source expression pulls the first task in your task list - across all users and all dates. When an element is dropped on a DropArea, and it can be any element really, we could even drop an elephant (joking) - then your workflow will run for that first task, that task’s data will be changed - regardless of what task you’re actually dropping on it.
So, you can only change 1 task and the external repeating group has to include that exact same task.

But that’s not what you want, what you actually want is to modify any task that task you are dragging from your external repeating group positioned on the top right side of the page.
As said, this is not possible with this plugin.

oh the picture was slow to load…
thought you meant the text element…

but no… i was just trying something to see what would happen…


this is my data source

no i only want to modify 1 task at the time… that single one that im dragging… when that one is dragged and dropped on the dropzone… that task should me modified… that part works already now… so we dont need to think more on that… Task gets modified!..

now when i drag that one task to the dropable element i need an action where the dragged task gets added to a list of a user…
thing to modify: table users current row user


field to modify is “assigned task” add drop area task

now current rows user have a task assigned to them because that task is on the list “assigned task”

now what i want to display in that nested repeating group is current user each item assigned task… but i want them to be displayed in input date (as we maked earlier) value…

right now i have succeding get them to be displayed as you can see here:


but they show every task there is assigned for every date field… so right now there is displayed 2 task because there is assigned 2 task to the user… but both task are duplicated in each field…

so how i understand you what you say is not possible i already have maked possible… now its just a matter of how current rows user’ assigned task is displayed :slight_smile:

Ok, got it, sorry I’m just tired today, was thinking about completely something else.
There are 2 steps remaining. Saving the date and the users in your tasks data type, right?
Checking your previous screenshots I see that the start date in your List of dates plugin is set as Current date/time. This date will update every time you load the page with the Current date/time in real time at the time. When you save the date into your database it gets saved as a static date. So the date in your repeating group won’t match the date in your database. Just set the start date in your List of Dates to Current date/time:rounded down to day.

To be able to assign the user to your Task, use a dropdown instead of an input and reference your Parent repeating group Users as choices source, to avoid performing a search again.

we are getting very close now :grin:

so now the user gets assigned when drag and drop… but it still doesnt assign the task to only be displayed at task date’s date… but in every list of dates…

and i see that the list of assigned task for the user is showed individual in each group… is it maybe possible to get the showed in one group but split by a comma for instance…

the end result i want to look kinda like this:

(this is not my platform… just inspiration from somewhere else)

Did you filter your nested Tasks repeating group on Input date? Also, since you’re using a dropdown for the users, you won’t need client side filtering.
Use these constraints plus any other filters you might need, eg status.

Not really since you are not displaying a list value from a data field. There might be a workaround, if you’re planning to assign a fixed number of tasks per user. Eg, 3 tasks maximum, etc.
However from a UI/UX point of view I would leave the tasks stacked on top of each other with that repeating group’s cell/group set to dynamic height. This way the user can easily see all tasks at a glance without having to scroll.

Nope i didnt… so that part works now

Hmm… but “assigned task” data field is a list of task… thats why i dont understand it doesnt work…
I tried to make some setup change this morning… and now i actually get a almost perfect result…

I removed the task repeating group because it actually not needed and instead moved my drag and drop group inside the dropable element (i can send a screenshot later when im back hole from work)

And my datasource in drag and drop group is search for user each items assigned task first item
And in search of user i search for unique id =input users value

That seems to work out really good…
Now only issue is that it only display “first item” how do we get it to show each item

That’s because you are displaying the first task in your user’s task list, as per your drag/drop group data source.
You do need a repeating group to display a list of items and not just the first item. Searching for a list of tasks or a list of users:each item tasks will result in the same layout, tasks/user’s list of tasks will be displayed on separate rows/columns.

So, use either of the 2 RG searches and if you really want to display the tasks as list, apply the below condition to you Text Current column’s Task.


Hmm… when i have used list of task i experienced that it couldnt figure out what task it should search for… thats why i used search for users task and a constraint to users unique id=indput user

If i only chose list of task it finds every employees task and not only the specific employees task…

But ill try that setup in a bit and tell if that works :blush:

It will search for the task assigned to a user for a specific day. You already have everything you need.

hi again…
sorry for late answer… had some long worksdays lately…
in the group task you have inside the repeating group task what is datasorce in that?
