Strange behaviour for Repeat List dimensions

Need help
1

I am at a loss where I need to set any more dimensions for a repeating list that I cannot seem to tie down to a specific sizing:

If the repeating list (bottom right on this screen shot) contains less content than it is able to display, everything displays correctly:

However, if I attempt to display a user record with more content that it is able to display, the parent group(s) expand and I cannot figure out why:

I have set all of the objects and element very carefully, throughout - but I just cannot fathom which setting or dimension is causing this to happen. Any pointers would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

What is the “Container Layout” for your Repeating Group ? Did you set any max height OR fixed height options ? It has to be responsive with no fixed heights, rather than that it has to “Fit height to content”.

Thank you - it was fixed height but, when I switch that off, now it extends way beyond the bottom of the page. What do you mean by “it has to be responsive”, please?

Great ! To know more about responsive design please see the below link and read the “responsive design” section.
This will help you understand what is meant by responsiveness. In general it’s the ability for your designs to adapt to whatever screen sizes. This applies to pages, visual components, etc…

Perhaps I was not clear - I understand responsive design - I asked what you meant by “it has to be responsive”. The Layout is shown below:

Perhaps a visual is necessary to explain the behaviour…

Your setup is good ! It extends beyond the page height because there is too much data to display and that’s normal.
What behaviour do you expect from it ? How do you expect your Repeating Group to display 15 records in the same place to show 1 record ? Usually the page height will extend to accomodate the data.

Thanks - I expect the repeating list to keep within the bounds I want to set and show a scrollbar for the extended rows - not to extend the whole list beyond the confines of the screen. I hope that makes sense?

Yes this makes sense. In this case, you’ll have to set a “Max height” for your Repeating Group only so whenever you have more records, a scroll bar will show up in the Repeating Group not the screen.
By the way, If you would like to give me access to do it for you, I will be happy to help !

I think I am getting there. In that whole right side there are number of nested groups - some have their height set by percentage and others do not have a fixed height. I believe, if I can set every element to not have a fixed height, it might solve my problem?

Yes you must make sure even of Parent Groups’ heights’ settings.

Thank you - I believe I am a lot closer - I think there is some invisible object somewhere affecting the overall height of my nested groups on the right - but I think I can investigate that separately

Perfect !

Add varying amounts of content to see at what point the issue occurs.
