Refer to partent Repeating Group's Current Cell value

[lucacioria]

I have 2 repeating groups nested, the outer one iterates over “Users”, the inner one over “Days”.

In the “Days” cells (the nested one), I have a button, and in the workflow, I can refer to “Current Cell’s Day” but not to the Parent Cell’s User.

Am I doing this wrong? Is this not possible?

I don’t think that the nested day cell can “see” the parent user cell, but the day repeating group can, which would be the typical use case: Limit the results of the day repeating group, using the current user cell.

That won’t work here?

Hey there,

Should be possible, from memory you’d need to make sure that the nested group/inner group is within a group inside the outer/master repeating group.

So right click on the ‘Days’ repeating group, group elements and then make sure it has the data source something like:

Then within the button you should have access to that cells data within the inner repeating group.

An example below:

So clicking a button within the inner repeating group changes data on the outside repeating group, in this case a user’s first name is changed to Joe.

Hope this works for you.

Best,

Groups…it always comes back to groups!
