Trying to edit from a group in a RG cell

Hi All,

My app is set up with pop-up wizards designed to create “Things” in the databasefrom one of my dashboards.

I have the popup writing to the database and a repeating group with Celss pulling the data in and displaying it.

I have an icon in the group being displayed and have a workflow set to show the popup wizard, which works

I am currently stuck, as the fields that all have information in them do not populate with the information already input into the database so that they can be edited.

I have the elements set up as below

When I hit the edit button in the RG group tile- the popup displays but all the fields are empty

The workflows on the “edit” icon are as follows…

Hey man, 1st, one question. Why you have a step that are “Making changes to the thing” you are sending to the popup in the same “open/populate” Workflow?

So regarding your issue, check the input’s parent container, this group and any other group acting as a wrapper need to have the data source set to be the same type of the thing sent to popup.

HI Newed,

Thanks for the response.

New to this, so my thought process was probably wrong, but my thought was the “make changes to a thing” was to pull the info into the input fields in the pop up.

I did check the containers and all of the group containers and they are all set to the “resources” thing- and the write function works.

I have set all the inputs to this auto-populate feature- but could be off again.

But should I also have something in the data source?

Thanks!
