I have a drop down selector that enables the user to select from a list of cities in my database.
I would like for a repeating group to populate with another column in my database called Category based on the city selected from the drop down.
For instance, in my database, I have my locations associated with a category (like Park or Restaurant) and a city.
I would like the repeating group to populate with all the category names associated with that particular city.
However, I don’t see that as an option for the data source.
Thanks in advance!
I think your Type of Content should be Category & Data source as:
Do a search for: Category
City = Dropdown’s value
@lantzgould I almost got it working.
My only issue now is that, when I select the city from the dropdown, my repeating group lists the group names of all the locations within that city resulting in a list of many duplicates.
I’m trying to get a list of the unique values of the groups in each city.
So I want a list like: “Parks, Restaurants,…” instead of “Parks, Parks, Parks, Parks, Restaurants, Restaurants…”
Here’s a screenshot of my repeating group where I’m trying to get unique elements only:
And here’s a screenshot of my repeating group text:
Thanks again for your help! This is the second time you’ve helped me make progress on my app.
I got it working! I needed to change the type of content to text instead of Location Names (a table in my database).
Here’s the repeating group’s settings that work:
And here’s the repeating group’s text settings that work:
(just in case someone else is searching for the solution to this problem).
Thanks for getting me on the right track, @lantzgould
@harrisonalley Nice!
‘Text’ was going to be my second guess.
