Persistent Bug: Can't access Current cell's [Data Type] - Only Current cell's index is available

Need help

Hi Bubblers,

I’m facing a very persistent and unusual bug while building a standard chat interface, and I’ve hit a complete wall after extensive debugging. I would be incredibly grateful for any ideas.

My Goal: I’m trying to display a list of chat messages (Chat-Nachricht) in a Repeating Group (RG).

The Problem: Inside the RG cell, a Text element should display the message content. However, in the dynamic data menu, the only available option related to the cell is Current cell's index. The expected option, Current cell's Chat-Nachricht, is completely missing.

What I Have Verified (Everything seems correct):

  1. Data Types: Konversation and Chat-Nachricht are set up correctly. Konversation has a field “Nachrichten” which is a list of Chat-Nachrichts.
  2. Test Data: Test entries for both data types exist and are correctly linked in the database.
  3. Page Context: The page itself has its Type of content set to Konversation. This works, as I can see the Current page's Konversation option.
  4. Repeating Group Setup:
  • Type of content is correctly set to Chat-Nachricht.
  • Data source is correctly set to Current Page's Konversation's Nachrichten.
  • (See Screenshot 1)
  1. Wrapper Group Setup:
  • The Group element (“Group_Sprechblase”) inside the RG cell, which wraps the text element, has its Type of content and Data source fields empty, as it should.
  • (See Screenshot 2)
  1. Privacy Rules:
  • All relevant data types have “Creator” privacy rules set up. These are confirmed to be correct and are not the cause of the editor issue.
  • (See Screenshot 3)
  1. Troubleshooting Steps Taken:
  • I have deleted and recreated the Text element from scratch. → No change.
  • I have cleared all other elements from the RG cell to ensure no overlapping. → No change.
  • I have performed a hard refresh of the editor (Ctrl+F5). → No change.

Editor Link: Here is a view-only link to my editor. The main page with the issue is called chat.

I am completely out of ideas. Has anyone ever encountered such a persistent issue where the editor refuses to show the correct data context despite all settings being correct?

Thank you so much for your help!

Your issue is the Group sprechblase that don’t have any content and data source. Content should be Chat-Nachricht and the source current cell chat-nachricht. You will be able to use Parent group text in your text element
Only the element directly inside the RG cell can reference the Current cell type data. So the group can, but the text inside the group can’t (but if you move the text directly into the RG cell, it will be available).
