I feel these are dumb things to be stuck on, as I’ve overcome far more difficult challenges, but I’m coming up with a loss here. What obvious thing am I apparently missing?
Issue #1: I have a menu bar of navlinks. It is a reusable element that sits at the top of the page. It is also supposed to be a floating group. Yet, when I scroll down a page it does not follow the page scroll.
Issue #2: I have a repeating group containing various vendors saved to the database. When a user clicks the pencil icon a popup should appear containing the vendor’s existing info so the user can edit it. Except the vendor data from the current cell is not sending to the popup as expected.
Hey man! Don’t feel dumb…lol. We’ve all gone through this stage; it’s normal
Issue 1: Change “Vertical float relative to” to “Both”. That’s all.
Issue 2: The data isn’t showing because there’s a group you must not have added a data source too. Check each group from your element tree to be sure that the data source is being passed down to the input fields where you wanna display the vendor information.
For more clarity:
Popup Edit Vendor: (no need for a data source, just data type “Vendor”)
Group Vendor: (data source should be “Parent Group’s Vendor”)
Group Vendor’s name/website: (data source should be “Parent Group’s Vendor”)
Group Vendor name: (data source should be “Parent Group’s Vendor”)
Input Group Name: (data source should be “Parent Group’s Vendor”)
If you forget to pass the data source between any of the groups, you eventually get a blank input field when you preview. You’ll need to do this same thing for all the other fields in your pop-up.
EASY METHOD
Instead of relating to the Parent Group’s Vendor, you can just relate each input’s data source to the main popup. So for example, the Vendor’s Name field will be “Popup Edit Vendor’s Vendor Name”. You’re less likely to make mistakes with this.
But the issue with the floating group persists. I have set the vertical float option to all the different options and yet the issue remains. The floating group does not follow with the page scroll. Is there some setting I’m not thinking of? Is the issue rooted in the fact that it is also a reusable element?
my brain today…
