Popups pulling from database

Hi guys - I have a question about Pop-up workflows. So basically, I have page called Mentors which has a repeating group with photos & names of the mentors. When the user clicks on a mentors image, I have created a Pop-up to show that specific mentor’s detailed job description. The challenge is that the Pop-up shows the descriptions of ALL the mentors from my database, instead of just the one mentor whose image was clicked. Currently I have my dynamic expression for the pop-up text set as “Search for Mentors’s Role Description” and the source for the overall popup as “Mentors” Please let me know how to fix this. Much appreciated.

Add a mentor custom state to the popup, in your show popup workflow, add current cells mentor to the custom state , then in the popup, set the data to be popups custom states mentors thing.
when the popup closes, clear the custom state.

You can also change the pop data type to the original data type the repeating group is using. And in the workflow to show popup, you can add another step to display data: element being the popup and data being the item from the cell. Hope that helps. Little easier imo.

You can use the approach mentioned here https://nocodeassistant.com/how-to-send-data-from-repeating-group-to-popup/ to send data from a Repeating group cell to popup.

Basically you need 2 actions in the workflow. Show popup and Display data. But you also need to configure the type of content of the popup and you’ll then have access to the Parent group’s thing function.
