Using the repeating groups categories on the search page to filter results

Need help
#1

Thanks all for the great template and I’m excited to build my next project here.

I’m using the search page template. Search Page - Canvas Manual

On this, I have successfully modified var - RepeatingGroup Categories for my list of categories.

I then have a repeating group set up and I want to show all records where the record type is contained in the var - RepeatingGroup Categories.

How do I do this? Would this be through custom states? The document references that this is a better way to do filtering than custom states so I believe it’s not the case.

Hello @user13 welcome to the forum!

Custom states cannot be conditioned while a repeating group like “var - rg categories” can. This is the main advantage of using groups or repeating groups instead of custom states to handle page values.

For further info on searching and conditioning this video should be a great resource! :smiley:
