This is part of a report I have. There are 14 repeating groups. What I want is for a pop up to come up when clicking the activity in the repeating group, I kinda think I have a handle on how to do that but would I have to make a pop up for each repeating group, or is there a way I can have one popup that manages all 14.

Hello @benjamin.bm.andrews
A simple way which might not be the best though is to set up a workflow on a cell in each of the RG with display in popup/group action,
Since you’re having 14 different RGs, I suggest they’re from 14 different data types or less,
you have to create a UI in the popup to display each activity in the RG and have it show/hide using custom state appended to each RG…

If you’re are not clear enough, I can give you 15min free consultation.

You can create one pop up and set multiple states / single states with a workflow after clicking on the item. The click sends the respective data from that cell to the pop up.

You can even do it for differing data types if you set up the pop up to have enough custom states that align with the data being sent to it.

Much easier to explain in a video, hope this helps: Sending Repeating Group Data to a Pop Up | Loom

Thanks for the video. I appreciate it. Ive done everything, but I dont know how to reference the custom state so that the data appears in an input box

  1. Create a group within the pop up, then set the ‘Type of Content’ to the data type you are pulling from the repeating group
  2. Set the Data source of the group to the Popup’s custom state
  3. Add an input field to the group, and set the value to 'Parent groups thing’s, then select the {field you want to edit}
  4. Enable autobinding on parent elements thing, and ensure in your privacy section of the database that you’ve set up autobinding for that data type and specific field
