Hello everyone. I am using a profile type to hold about 12 different fields of info inputted by the user. on 4 seperate pages. I am using “create aa new thing” under my profile type. This is creating 4 different entries. I need them all under one. What is my issue do you think?
Thank you !
Each time you go to a new page and you hit the ‘save’ button that creates a new thing, it created an actual new thing. Then on the next page you do the same thing again, in total 4 times. What you need to do is add the action ‘create new thing’ once and then for there remaining 3 you add the action ‘make changes to thing’, then specify the the actual thing that you are saving. But doing this on different pages can become a little complicated and slow.
Do those 12 different fields really need to be on different pages? I think it would be easier to put them in groups if you do need to hide the previous ‘page’.
So instead of pages, you create 4 groups on 1 page. Then you can setup custom states to show the relevant groups. In short:
Setup a state on the page called ‘page’ or ‘group’.
Each of the 4 groups you create will have a condition on them:
When current page’ group/page (the state you set in 1) is ‘group1’, this group is visible (by default this is visible, by default the other groups are not visible)
When current page’ group/page is not ‘group1’, this group is not visible
Then on the click of the button you added to ‘create a new thing’, it creates a new thing and then you also add the action to set state, setting the state of the current page’ group’ or ‘page’ to ‘group2’.
On the next ‘page’ instead of ‘create new thing’ you make it: ‘make changes to thing’, then specifying said thing. Depending on how you set up the page you might need to make changes to refer to the thing you created in the first step.
Just go over this a couple of times and try to figure it out. There will always be someone to help you out when you get stuck again!
