Text to display if Repeating Group is Empty

It would be awesome to have some text that would display in the cell of a repeating group if there are no items in the group. Most of my repeating groups start out empty, so it would be much easier to just add text like “There are no items yet” in the RG options than to create a group with the “There are no items yet” text that is invisible unless the RG is empty.

Great call! It is somewhat annoying having to create that other group just to say there aren’t any items.

+1 for this idea!

Pretty sure you can do this with a conditional and a search

Yes, this is how we all get around the problem, but the idea here is for an easier, built-in way, e.g. to have a property on the RG that allows us to set some text to display when there is no data. Almost like the alt text for an image in html, to use when the image is empty.

Yes.I agree and appreciate it.

+1!
Could someone explain the workaround in the RG>Conditional?
Thanks

Currently I create a text in a group (with collapse height set to true, and originally hidden) and I set a conditional on a the group that if “Repeating group A’s List of things:count is 0 and Repeating group A is loading is no” then this group si visible.

Many thanks!

Hi there,

I’m fairly new to bubble - is there any new workaround for empty repeating group than the one mentioned in the thread above? It’s been almost 6 years already :stuck_out_tongue:

Just create a group to display when the RG is empty. Simple.

Thank you! Same thing here.
Though I have to admit to original poster, that while the idea is nice, taking Google Fonts for example, a proper no-results message and call for filter reset does need more than just no results message. So, in a sense it is almost like a state of nofound.

Perfect thanks

You can set up another group and set it’s condition to (repeating group list of texts:count > 0). it should be outside of repeating group. Simple!
