but setting state and getting a data from state is a old working scenario, on latest updates in bubble.is it has to be work as i did … check the discussion on below link:

Finally, my API data refreshes without page reload- How I got it to work

Refreshing a repeating group has been covered so many times over the past few years… One area that I’ve recently had major issues with is refreshing a repeating group from API data.

Dang… Sorry it isn’t working for you. Off hand, I cannot see anything wrong with what you’ve done. It could just be something with the particular API that is being used, but of course that doesn’t help at all!! My particular implementation still works - So I do not believe there has been a change in Bubble lately to cause the Date to not work in refreshing.

If you reach wits end, I’d reach out to Bubble support. They were the ones who gave me the information about using Date instead of the Custom States. @neerja has always been fantastic in her responses.
