Hi, I try to use a Canvas block (the FAQ block), and the docs seem pretty straightforward (Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Repeating Group - Canvas Pages and Modules), but it’s of course more difficult than I thought…
I set up a database “FAQ” with some Q’s and some corresponding A’s, I include that in the Repeating Group as Data Type (“FAQ”) and as Data Source (“Search for FAQs”), but when I go down to the actual text element (which is nested three layers down from the actual Repeating Group) and try to make it dynamic it doesn’t seem to be as easy as “Update the data source of RepeatingGroup Dummy and update the text elements to reference current cell’s data.” (quote from the documentation).
When I try to have the text elements refer to the data source, it doesn’t offer me the usual “Current cell’s …”? where I can then pick the actual data element (here “Question”), but it only offers me “Current cell’s index”. Which works nice in way of printing 1, 2, 3, … onto the screen where my questions should be, but nothing more.
Can somebody point me toward what I do wrong?
PS: I assumed that a) nested groups inherit the data types and data sources from their parents (so I expected to just be able to pick “Current cell’s FAQs Questions” as a data source for the text element. I also tried b) to replicate the data type and source of the top RG all the way down to the group, in which my text element lies, but that didn’t help either…
PSS: Trying to assess the problem I tried to replicate it in a more simplistic fashion: setting up a repeating group with just a test element in it works fine (dynamic element is ‘Current cell’s FAQs Questions’), as soon as I move the text element into a group within the repeating group it automatically changes to “Parent group’s FAQ’s Question”, and remains blue, but when I then preview, it doesn’t show up… I’m sure this is a thought mistake on my part, but I cannot wrap my head around it… ??
