Repeating group not updating in real time. Bug?

Hi guys,

I’ve got a message repeating group that search for all message with a constraint to its respective conversation.

However, I realise a very weird issue where this message repeating group is not updated in real time when a new message data came in.



If you look at the screenshot above, I had this message “new message sent” added into the database but it wasn’t showing up in the repeating group until I refresh. All other repeating group is working fine in updating live however. Is there any reason to that? Thanks.

What’s with your page URL?

It just refers to a path segment which gives a Conversation data unique ID

Just did another simple test, basically repeating group will not update in real time as soon as there are constraint in it.

Anyone got any idea on this?

The RG search structure seems to be fine so I’m guessing it’s due to this issue:

I never know this was a thing, I think this is a bug

I did the same test as you. It is working for me.

I’m experiencing this behavior not only with RGs but also with controls in a page. I had to add a text outside the RG in the group and paint it white so the RG could refresh automatically. I’m receiving a long list via an API and that wasn’t showing. This was happening with some frequency, and it seems fixed when I upgraded the app. But then again, it’s starting to happen again. My entire app experience rely on this ability to retrieve and display data automatically, and this worries me a lot.

Same problem here on one of my RG …

I’ve found that updating an existing “thing” will actually update it in the RG - but adding a new “thing” won’t show up until page refresh - also applies only if there is a constraint

Never had that before

same issue…so it is not possible to build a IM app with bubble now.

I found a solution.

But this is not elegant.

After testing, I found that only when the data is updated in the backend, the forced update of the bubble RG will be triggered.

When you create a new thing, you find that there is no such thing in RG. You can add a workflow - schedule Api to update the new thing, and then you will find that RG displays this data.

But this method consumes a lot of workload.

This is a known bug, and the best thing you can do is file a bug report.

custom workflows are not getting triggered via database changes either now…something is wrong with data updates right now it seems.

I was able to reproduce this behavior in a test app and will flag this behavior to our engineering team when they are online tomorrow.

Please do let me know if you have any other questions or notice any changes in the meantime!

It’s now on Bubble’s radar :muscle:

problem is it is inconsistent so sending a bug report to support will be worthless as the response will be that they were not able to reproduce. @fede.bubble could you bring this issue to the team’s attention? It seems to be affecting quite a few users and associated with the recent issues related to data.

Bubble has already recognised it as an issue and escalated it. They were actually able to replicate it which is good.

The post you linked seems to be for the main topic of the thread, which is repeating groups not updating the data, but the other issue is about the custom workflow trigger not triggered when data changes…or is the post you linked to, that is a set of quotes from another post, referring to the issue of custom workflows not triggered when data changes?

Ah, yes, this.

I can follow up and mention the trigger when data changes workflow but I imagine it’s the same issue?
