Hi everyone, I need help with an inline edit setup I am building.
I have text in a repeating group that can be switched into an input field for editing. When I click “Save,” the new text is updated in the database and shows correctly — but when I refresh the page, the text disappears and becomes blank.
This usually happens when the inline edit is updating a temporary state, not the actual database field you’re displaying.
So it looks correct right after saving, but on page refresh Bubble pulls the original value which is empty.
There are two things to check:
The text element’s source
Make sure it’s showing the actual database field, not a custom state.
The Save workflow
Confirm the “Make changes to thing…” action is updating the exact field the text element is bound to. If those don’t match, the value disappears after reload. If you want, I can help you check the setup step-by-step.
