Hi, I need to show 3 different data types in one repeating group. I set the repeating group, data source is the API call and I have 3 text fields in the RG. It works well but the problem is it consumes 3 API calls instead of 1. I can store the data in a custom state which is only 1 API call but I can’t figure out how to fill the data into the RG without using database (it’s too slow).
Can I set the RG dada source to multiple custom states somehow?
Thanks.
Hi, you mean API is called when the RG is loaded or page is loaded?
And basically 1 API call return those 3 data types whereas your repeating group needs to make 3 different calls to same API to get the 3 data separately? Although 1 API call is enough.
Your repeating group’s data source is the API call?
If this is the case I ran into almost same situation.
You can try this,
- Make the repeating group’s data source empty.
- In your workflow action (making the API call), you will define the repeating groups data in the next step after calling the API (Element action > Dispay data in a repeating group).
This is how you will get all the data in the repeating group in 1 call.
And you can share your workflow, repeating group etc. to make it more clear if it does not solve the problem.
Someone surely will help.
@kazimdgoni That works well. I set the repeating group’s data source empty and displayed the data source in the workflow. Thanks!
