Search with constraint

[ohyoonkwn]

Hello! I’m new to Bubble and now I feel stuck at the searching and displaying data in repeated group. Hope I can get some help

I want to populate a subset of the data field in Repeating Group based on the selected ‘Category’.

Following the tutorial (https://manual.bubble.io/working-with-data/connecting-types-with-each-other) I created 3 data types: Question, Category, and another type called Q-Category combining the Question and the Categories. I intently chose this because in the future the ‘Category’ will grow and will have more parameters (e.g. some categories are only visible to certain types of users). I thought for this purpose, it’s better to use the DB constrain search instead of using the filter.

When the user clicks a button with a category, only related questions in RG should be populated.

I tried to use the Marvel Heros example but I’m not getting a result. Basically, I’m lost in a lot of dropdown options… I guess I have to create a workflow to send a trigger to RG when a category button is clicked.

Here is my app link: weq.bubbleapps.io/version-test/

Hello @ohyoonkwn,

If you have some time please review the following great videos on searching / filtering with constraints:

They may spark some ideas.

Hope things work out!
