petter:

Thanks for getting back to me! I meant lists that are auto-populated with the initial content field. I’m using the Easylists basically to replace RG’s to store temporary information (without relying on actions).

Hi @petter,
That completely makes sense. I just added the ‘Reset to initial content’ action to easy list that should allow you to reset to the initial content. Please upgrade your plugin for the same.

@gnelson just in case you were actually looking for this in your previous post

Best,
Gaurav

Hi @gaurav,

Thanks for answering this. I thought I’d tried that. Guess not. LOL.

Hi @gaurav,

I have used RGData/RGExtractor to extract values from two input boxes within a repeating group’s. Two lists are produced (column 1 and 2).

I have used List Processor to iterate over the repeating group’s thing and modify one field, using one list from RGData as the input list (column 1).

My question is – is there a way to input two lists into List Processor, or to combine two List Processors to edit one thing (2 fields to be edited)?

The reason I want to do this is to update/modify 2 fields from the repeating group’s thing with data from the 2 input boxes. I have previously used “Schedule an API workflow on a list” in combination with RGData/RGExtractor, but List Processor looks like a better option.

Hope you can help! Thanks in advance

PS: Amazing utilities by the way!

Hi @ask,
Sorry about the delayed response. Yeah there’s a simple way if I understood the underlying ask of your question correctly…

Instead of running the list processor on one of those inputs, run it on a list of numbers (for this, you can output the current cells index as a third column of the repeating group and run on it).
Then you will be to access other columns values concurrently using
Column 1’s item # This’ list processors’ current value
Column 2’s item # This’ list processors’ current value

Thank you for the feedback!! Glad you find the utilities useful

@gaurav any idea how to solve this using this plugin?

Joining Two List of things into text Need help

Hi all, looking for how to solve this as well!

gaurav · 2020-04-09T16:54:16.632Z

Well the easiest way would be to simply use the Repeating group tools (bdk) plugin. Just have a repeating group of type full list, and use the plugin to extract out the output text you want, such as Product1Quantity1 or anything else at all for that matter.

The RG can be like 1x1 size or something and behind some corner of the page (has to be visible to work). That way it wont interfere with your design.

@gaurav How can I remove an item from Easylist? Similar to “Add item to Easylist”. The revert to previous does not work for my use case.

In my case, I am adding the same element multiple times to a list. And I want to remove one of them.

gaurav · 2020-04-30T21:01:04.399Z

For now you can simply filter out the item the usual bubble way i.e. using filtered action. The revert to previous is an ‘undo’ action. I’ll be adding a remove item from list action to Easylist element.

Hi @gaurav!
I’m facing an issue with lists in Bubble, which doesn’t allow me to store duplicate entries in the list - I have described it here:

Creating a List with duplicate entries Need help

Hello Bubblers! I am having 8 separate inputs in my app. They look like below: [Zrzut ekranu 2020-05-24 o 21.44.29] (example data filled) I need to create a list basing on those inputs. For the above inputs, the desired list shoud look like below: ABC, DEF, GHA, GHA, DEF, , POD, XXR As you can observe, the GHA and DEF entries are saved double into the list, as input by user There is also empty list item between DEF and POD entries, as input by user I’m now using the :plu…

Is there any way that your utilities may help me to solve this issue?

Can I put a listprocessor within a listprocessor?

jdubbya · 2020-07-28T04:14:11.847Z

Hi Gaurav - Question for you - is the following working as intended? I’m using an EasyList in combination with a ListProcessor on a page to loop through a list of records, during each loop adding a list of records from the current value to the EasyList. It works great (thank you!) but throws an error (see attached) when trying to add a null list to the current value inside the ListProcessor workflow. This is quickly solved by checking for empty lists before adding to the EasyList, but I was a bit surprised it was required in order to handle the error,…? Thanks, generally loving your plugins and responsiveness on the forums! easylisterror

jdubbya · 2020-07-29T02:09:14.367Z

I believe so - I’m using a nested ListProcessor in my app and it’s working well. Pretty cool

gaurav · 2020-07-29T22:31:08.735Z

Hi @jdubbya,
Thank you for the kind words Appreciate the feedback!
Yeah I think it doesnt account for the case where the list itself evaluates to null. You’re right in skipping that step if null. I’ll include a implicit check for that inside the plugin in a future update.

Cheers,
Gaurav

Hi Guarav,

Saw your post on nested json:

gaurav:

If you would like to build a nested json, I think it would require using server side data api of bubble i.e. running code in a server side plugin / a microservice provider like lambda.

So if I would like to call this:
PATCH https://api.videoask.com/forms/[form_id]

And send this data:
{
** “notifications”: {**
** “send_contact_message_emails”: false**
** }**
}

I cannot do that with the Bubble API Connector?

Solved in: Send a sub parameter in an API call

Hi Gurav,

Can i use this plugin to extract a list of things with multiple fields to text with the right spaces in between?

gaurav · 2021-01-15T18:59:47.996Z

Hi @adunniola,
Anything you can create an expression for inside the repeating group cell can be extracted
For instance if you have a hidden multiline input in the cell, and set the initial content of it to whatever text you’d like extracted (no restrictions; even conditional formatting can be used). Just provide the value of this multiple input as one of the things to the extractor and you’re all set.

Best,
Gaurav

Hi @gaurav ,
Do you have any news regarding the “remove item from list” function for Easylist?
Thanks,
Alessandro

Hello @gaurav!

I ran into an issue with nested cycles using Listprocessor.

I am working on a project management app. In my data structure I have an entity called Factors (e.g. vacation, tech problem, knowledge gap), each one of these Factors has a number of different Impacts (e.g. delays the project, reduces capacity, etc.).

For all Factors that belong to a certain stage of a project I need to make a change to each Impact depending on the Factor it belongs to. So I want to do something like:

for each Factor 
{
for each Impact
{
if the Factor of the current Impact = current Factor then do X;
}
}

For that I have created 2 Listprocessor elements and a state:

Listprocessor_Factors launches the outer loop. It sets the State_Factor with the current Factor and triggers Listprocessor_Impacts for the list of Impacts that belong to the given project stage.
Listprocessor_Impacts is expected to trigger the inner loop and go over all the Impacts in the list. However that does not happen: once the “if” condition is false, the inner loop is stopped and the next iteration of the outer loop proceeds.

That’s how it looks like

Set State:

Factors1704×853 58.9 KB

Trigger Inner loop:

Factors21707×669 53.6 KB

Outer loop goes on for the complete list of Factors, however the inner loop is interrupted once the “Only when” condition is false:

Impacts1707×763 76.8 KB

There is correct data in both Factors and Impacts lists.

Could you advise what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks!
Alex

Is there some documentation other than this fast-moving gif? Hard to follow what’s going on. Thanks.
