Data Bindings window not showing Form Repeat fields properly

[ivan.io]

Wappler Version : 6.8.0
Operating System : Windows 10 Professional
Server Model: Node.js
Database Type: PostgreSQL
Hosting Type: Local

Expected behavior

Bind a database value into a text input inside a filtered Form Repeater.

Actual behavior

The Data Bindings window doesn’t display the fields correctly.

How to reproduce

1. As an example, I’m going to recreate a simple structure: a list of vehicles, grouped by Manufacturer.

   

2. The first repeater is fetching the list of manufacturers.

   

3. The inner repeater is fetching the list of vehicles, filtering by manufacturer_id.

   

4. Now it’s just a matter of binding the fields from the inner repeater to the text inputs, right? However:

   

   The fields inside the Form Repeater are not displayed for selection.

5. “Solution”: remove the manufacturer_id filter from the Form Repeat expression.

   

   Tip: a CTRL+X would be wise.

6. Now, going back to the data binding of the text inputs, the fields appear properly.

   

   Do the bindings for all 3 text inputs.

7. Put the filter back into the Form Repeater expression. CTRL+V, if you were wise.

   
   8. Voilà!

Theodor: I spent 1 hour creating this test environment and preparing the report. Where should I send the invoice?

I only reported this bug because, apparently, the development team thinks we don’t notice the community QA they’ve set up for them.

More than that… reporting a bug is “a one-minute thing”! As if my minute is worth nothing.

If Wappler were as bug-free as they think it is, why not give a 10% discount on the subscription for each bug reported? I’d report 120 bugs per year, no problem…

Thank you for the detailed report. Now we are aware of the bug and can investigate to solve it.

This is the way we solve bugs, if no bugs are reported then none are solved, so do make sure you report any bugs you encounter.

Indeed it takes time to make a good detailed report but this helps us greatly in finding and solving the bugs that we haven’t encountered ourself or other users.

So your help us greatly appreciated by us and the community and help us make Wappler rock solid.

will be fixed in the next update. The Form repeater wasn't passing the right schema when formatters were used in the expression.

Fixed in Wappler 7.2.2
