I have a page with a popup that resides in a repeating group and a button that is outside that group
How can I show that popup when clicking the button?
The only action I can think of is Show Element but I can only show the repeating group, not the popup inside it.
The rest of the page is empty.
Bubble has a weird limitation where they don’t let you do everything from inside/outside the repeating group.
You can put a custom state on the main page (yes/no) called “Show popup” or something. And have the button make it “yes”. Then have a conditional on the popup to show when the custom state is “yes”
Is it possible to put the pop-up outside of the repeating group or is there a reason why it’s inside? There’s a way to do it I just need to test it out on my rest app…
No reason except that I am curious if there’s a way to do that 
it’s do-able I can test it on my test app it just needs some work arounds. Worst case I know everyone uses the Orchestra plugin so you can do workflows between repeating groups and the main page. But I think it can be done without it
If you find a way, please post your solution.
You need to create an workflow to run when a specific condition is true.
In this case, create a workflow to run only when “Show Popup” is yes.
In this workflow, create a single action: “Show an element” (and choose your Popup). 
But he’s saying his popup is inside the repeating group cell so the workflow editor can’t find the popup (i think?)
Ohhh that is true @tylerboodman !! I missed that part 
So @lucian.t.pascu, I assume your popup is inside a reusable element that is inside a repeating group, am I right? Because you can’t insert a popup inside a repeating group directly 
…
Anyway, this doesn’t seems right. If you explain to us why you have this setup I am sure we can think in a better solution… Or help you better with this one 
You’re correct. I tried to edit the question but it’s not possible anymore.
The popup is inside a reusable group - not a repeating group as I initially said.
I don’t have a specific scenario of why I need this but I am curious if it could be done.
Oh this is different then. Put a custom state on the reusable element instead with the yes/no. Then have the button change it to yes/no. Then edit the reusable group and go into workflows and add “When condition is true” and make it “everytime” and make the condition "When [reusable elements name] [custom state’s name] is “yes”, with the action “Show [popup name]”
Yeah… this changes everything 
That’s it Thanks!
Yep no problem, custom states kind of “pass through” to the reusable element so that’s one of the few ways to actually pass data over to it
