I have an RG of items and each item has an RG in it.
In the child RG, how do I get the parent RG’s current thing?

from the child rg you should be able to select the parent rg by name when building an expression
Actually need the parent RG’s current thing, not the RG itself.

Just use Current Cell’s Thing
Hey @agency_team
If you don’t see what you need. I solve this sometimes by putting a group into the parent repeating group with the data I need into the data source. Then you can more easily access the data from within the nested repeating group.
The group you add could be really small so it doesn’t impact your design. Just label it something that will be easy to find.
That’s my workaround. There’s always more than one way to do something though.
Hope that helps!

Sorry if I’m not being clear. I need the parent RG’s cell’s thing, not the current cells thing.
Hey @J805 ! That solved my issue! Thanks!
For anyone who has this question later, let me articulate exactly what that looks like.
To get the parent Repeating Groups current cell’s thing from inside a child Repeating Group, you. have to put the child Repeating Group inside a Group.
The structure will look like this:
The Group GroupABC needs to have it’s type of content set to the parent groups thing type, and the Data source is Current Cell’s Thing
Then from within the repeating group, you can get GroupABC’s Thing.
Glad that helped
That’s what I normally do.
