Unable to Select Custom State in Data Source

Need help
1

Hello everyone,

I’m encountering an issue where I’m unable to select a custom state as a data source in my Bubble app, even though I’ve followed all the steps I could find in the documentation and forum posts.

Here’s the context:

  • I’ve created a custom state named “Selected Conversation” of type “Conversations ChatGPT” on the page.
  • I’ve tried setting this custom state using various workflows and making sure it’s being properly initialized.
  • However, when I try to use “Selected Conversation” as the data source for a RepeatingGroup or in any other action, it does not appear in the list of available options.

I’ve double-checked that the custom state is correctly set at the page level and in the relevant groups, but it’s simply not showing up when I try to use it in the data source field.

Has anyone experienced this issue or can provide insights into why this might be happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your time!

Hi @florianquisenaerts

  1. check if the custom state you created is a list type. If it is not, this might be a reason why you are not seeing it.

  2. If 1. Is not the problem, refresh your page and see if the issue persist.

  3. If 1 and 2 is not the problem, can you share a screenshot of thr custom state where it was created on the page?

Hi @iwakinomotoye

Thank you for your fast response.

I created the custom state on the page, here is a screenshot of how I did it. (Maybe in the wrong way?)

That’s strange @florianquisenaerts
Try to isolate the problem.

  1. Create another state of another type that is a list an see if it is accessible
  2. You can also try to create the state list of type conversation chatgpt on another element and see if you can access it.

Play around with the states creation and see what is preventing you from ebing able to access it.

@iwakinomotoye I created an another state on a group and it’s accessible. I don’t understand why I create a new state on the page I can’t use it.

Maybe I should find an another way to do what I want (without custom state) :sweat_smile:

Yes, or you can just let custom state live on the RepeatingGroup where you want to use it. @florianquisenaerts
