First time bubble user here and looking for some help, please.
A hypothetical use case. I have two elements that are both Rich Text Input’s. The first is an input for a statement about an ‘Issue’. The second is an input with a repeating group that contains the individual steps someone has taken to troubleshoot an issue. This could include one or more items.
The inputs are saved to different tables: ‘Issues’ and ‘Troubleshooting’.
Each time someone adds another troubleshooting step, it creates a thing in that table. But I want all the troubleshooting steps listed to have an independent relationship with the corresponding issue (not a list of things). So when the Publish button is clicked, each step is saved as a separate thing and linked to the corresponding ‘Issue’ in the issues table.
Could someone please point me in the right direction for how I might configure this?
You’ll need to first create the Issue, because you can’t reference it if it doesn’t exist, and in this case you’re creating a Troubleshooting Step. Each record needs to be created independently.
Step 1 - Create Issue Step 2 - Create Troubleshooting Step. Then when you get to defining the Corresponding Issue field you just need to reference Step 1 in your workflow. You’ll see it when you get to it.
You’ll need to then add a new workflow that just creates Troubleshooting Steps for record 2+ and use some conditionals to make sure you fire the right one. Otherwise you’ll end up with 1:1 issues to troubleshooting steps which isn’t what you’re trying to do. There’s a few ways to link the Issue in this case, but probably the simplest is to just ‘Do a search’ and search for it

Okay, I understand now. Thank you, Josh.
I’ll change the UI and include a button that creates the Issue and then makes the Troubleshooting Step visible, and go from there.
Thanks for the speedy response!
