I have a repeating group that is getting a list of things from an external API.
The repeating group is designed to generate a specific label format using the text from the entry. However, I need to duplicate the thing depending on a value from the API. Example below…
A purchase order that is being received has a list of ‘Items’ purchased (Item Code, Description, Order Amount, Received Amount).
The API JSON response is the list of items on the purchase order. I can use that to populate a repeating group where every item on the order is displayed once.
What I would like to then is then take the item multiplied by the ‘Recieved Amount’ so that each item in the repeating group would be a separate label that can be printed and placed on the item.
I’m exploring using the List of numbers plugin, or figuring out how to generate a temporary list of things to populate the RG with, but haven’t solved it yet.
You can indeed use a list of numbers.
-in the main repeating group cells, add a list of number so there’s one for each cell.
-also in each repeating group cell, you add a nested repeating group that will actually display the items.
-The datatype will be numbers, which is the list of numbers generated from “list of numbers” element.
-The text in the nested repeating group will reference the main repeating group’s item.
Let me know if that works for ya!
