'repeating group showing 20+ empty cells instead of actual store data'

Hi everyone! I am building a village delivery app. I have a store listing page with a Repeting Group. The problem is:

  1. Store image are not showing - blank boxes appear

  2. Repeating Group shows 25+empty rows instead of actual store
    I have checked the data source and image field but still same problem . can anyone help me fix this? Thank you!:folded_hands:

Hey @pritipragya82498 :waving_hand:

Welcome to the Bubble Community! :tada:

Would love to assist. Can you please show more information:

  1. Screenshot of the workflow
  2. Privacy rules
  3. Your database, does it show your data?
  4. What user are you uploading these with? What user are you trying to view the information with?

“I think I’m using the same account to upload and view the data, but I’m not 100% sure.”


That workflow is just handling the tap action, so I don’t think that’s what’s causing the empty cells.

And if Store is already publicly visible, then privacy rules probably aren’t the issue either. My guess is the problem is somewhere in the repeating group’s data source.

Can you click on the repeating group itself and show the settings on the right side?

Main things I’d check are:

  • Type of content (should be Store)

  • Data source (this is probably the important one)

Also take a look at whether “Set fixed number of rows” is enabled. I’ve seen that create a bunch of empty cells before. Bubble will still render all those rows even if the search isn’t returning any data, which kind of matches the 25 empty rows you’re seeing.

As a quick test, try setting the data source to a simple “Do a search for Store” with no constraints at all, and turn off fixed rows if it’s enabled.

If the stores suddenly appear, then you’ve narrowed it down pretty quickly. At that point it’s usually either one of the search constraints or the fixed-row setting, and you can add things back one by one until you find what’s causing it.

What does your datasource look like for that image? The parent group value? You can use the inspect tool to view that data.

Also, privacy rules are definitely a security issue, it shouldn’t be public. :blush:

“My main issue is not the empty cells. The problem is that when I preview the page, I see 4 extra empty boxes. I’m trying to understand why those empty boxes are appearing even though there is no data in them.”

I will send you the screenshot of the app tomorrow morning. Thank you. Please help or reply.

Sure, send it over tomorrow. We’ll dig into it and see if we can figure out what’s causing it.
