Hey, so I have a bunch of journal entries (11 thousand) put in by users and I want to decrypt them all (after I learnt my own encryption is basically useless), I used a plugin to encrypt the journals. The issue is, Im not sure how im going to go about this, I know that it’ll have to be some kind of…

Oh, it’s you again. Well, you are going to have to run a recursive backend workflow over those to change them. It won’t take as long as you think (several hours-ish on a personal plan). To make this easier, you should check out my List Popper & Friends plugin.

Although, I’m not too sure where to even start with this. I don’t think the plugin I used allows you to encrypt/decrypt through a workflow, it must be through a plugin element on the page. I have manually decrypted in the past because of this issue, but that was only times when there were around 300…

Okay so I’ve just found out that this plugin I used (for encoding not encrypting) does not have an option to decrypt on a list of of things. Is there any workaround here anyone can think of? Or do I have to manually go and click a button eleven thousand times?

When you setup a recursive workflow it goes through each item one by one so you don’t need the “Decrypt a list” action. Search on the forum for recursive, it’s basically a workflow with a list that schedules itself:minus the item processed so it runs in a loop until the list is empty.

there are no actions for the plugin I used that are in the backend workflows unfortunately, so there is no option for me to decode there. Thank you for everyone’s help, I will just have to not put in a search feature ever lol

What’s the plugin? Sounds strange it’s not in the backend. You might be able to rig something up that is recursive-ish in the front end in it’s really a last resort

Thanks for the reply. The plugin is Zeroqodes encode/decode - Encode Decode Encrypt Decrypt Plugin | Bubble If there is any solution that can save me from clicking a decode button eleven thousand times, that would be extremely helpful, just not sure how to go about it. And I agree, it’s very stran…

What exactly are you trying to decode? (what type of encoding?)…

The context you seek, @adamhholmes… it was quite a thread.

Actually, it may not help with your question, but it’s still more context.
