Repeating Group not displaying data in Preview

Need help
1

Hello!

I am building an app where a user types text into an input field and clicks a button to save it. The saved entries should display on the page in a repeating group. The data saves to the database (I can see it in App Data) but nothing appears on the page in Preview.

Here is my setup:

PAGE: index

DATA TYPE: JournalEntry Fields: entry_text (text), title (text), created_date (date), creator (User)

ELEMENTS ON PAGE:

  1. Input Entry Text (placeholder “Type here”)

  2. Button New Entry

  3. Button View

  4. RepeatingGroup JournalEntry

  5. Text Current cell’s Journ (inside the repeating group)

REPEATING GROUP SETTINGS: Type of content: JournalEntry Data source: Search for JournalEntrys (no constraints) Width: 477, Height: 700 Rows: Fixed number, 10 Columns: Fixed number, 1 Style: Transparent Visible on page load: Yes

TEXT ELEMENT INSIDE REPEATING GROUP: Content: Current cell’s JournalEntry’s entry_text Width: 400, Height: 50 Font: App Font (Inter), 16px, weight 400 Font color: #1a1a1a (black) Style: Body 16 Visible on page load: Yes

WORKFLOW (Button New Entry is clicked): Step 1: Create a new JournalEntry, title = “New Entry”, entry_text = Input Entry Text’s value Step 2: Reset relevant inputs

PRIVACY: JournalEntry is publicly visible, no rules applied

The data saves correctly (50 entries visible in App Data with entry_text values). In Preview with the debugger Inspect tool, I can see pink highlighted blocks where the repeating group is, but no text displays.

What am I missing?
