Repeating Groups in Reusable Element

I’m trying to create a menu exactly like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgmbyAfXvoI&

It looks like I can do this with a reusable element but I’m getting stuck on creating it. I’m trying to copy exactly what is going on this video but the quality is not great so I can’t read everything on his video. Does anyone have any examples or walk through videos on how to create a menu and sub menu using option sets through repeating groups and reusable elements? Thank you so much!

Just fyi using a reusable is not mandatory. He has to use it because of the menu items are inside an RG. And group focus cannot see items within the RG. So the workaround is to create a reusable element of an item inside the RG.

You create a reusable element.
Pass the right Type of Content.
Drop a group inside called Group A.
Place a text inside the group.
Drop a Group Focus inside the reusable and reference it to the Group A.
On click of Group A you’ll display the Group Focus.
Inside a group focus drop an RG that will display data dynamically. This is based on how your Option Set architecture will be arranged.

This will do the job. If it’s still unclear you can hire me to do it for you.

I tried this and I’m still running into an issue. The issue is at Step 4 where I am not adding text but another repeating group. So there is a repeating group nested within a repeating group. When I try to assign the Group Focus it doesn’t move to under each specific item in the repeating group, it stays in the same spot on the side, unlike in the video where the group focus is relative to each item within the repeating group

In that case you need one more reusable. Apply steps exactly the same way.

Thanks for the help and insight. I somehow figured it out. I created a reusable element and the main category tab is just text that references a parent group option set and it seemed to work. No idea how I got it to work but it works as intended so I’m happy. If anyone else is trying to do something similar in the future I’m happy to share my structure

I’m glad you figured it out.
