Text/number catch-22 in repeating group

[jared.the.automator]

I’m trying to accomplish “2.2.2 Deleting rows” from this post.

The repeating group’s content type is number:

All the elements in the workflow are in within the cell:

For this step to work, I need to be able to dynamically select Current cell’s number, but only Current cell’s index is available:

If I try Current cell’s number as a data source for the parent group, I get a conflict because the content type is text:

However if I make the type of content number, it breaks the dynamic data in the text box:

Any help as to where I’m going wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure exactly what you need but if you want to keep it as string, just use :formatted as after current’s cell number. This will change the type from number to text

@Jici Thanks!

I tried that, and this is the result:

I still can’t select Current cell’s number dynamically in the deletion step:

This is parent’s group text no?

No. If it set it to Parent group’s text, I get this:

If I set it to Parent group’s text:formatted as, these are my options:

What is the type of the state? number? so you will need to convert it again to number. (using :convert as number)
What are you trying to do?

Thanks, that seems to have solved the problem. I’m trying to delete rows from a custom state “row_numbers” where each row is a cell in a repeating group.
