Transferring behaviors and data between 2 repeaters

repeater-widget

#1

We’ve got 2 repeaters, each with the same 2 columns:

  1. Name
  2. URL

Both repeaters have the same interaction onClick:
Open [[Item.URL]] in popup window

This works fine in the first repeater (the one where all the data is loaded when the page loads). You click on an item and a popup window loads containing the correct URL.

However, when you move an item to the 2nd repeater, the popup window does not appear. On hover, the cursor turns into a pointer, indicating that there is some sort of OnClick interaction. However, when you click, nothing happens.

You can see this in action here:

Try dragging from Applied to Shortlist and then opening the popup.

Not sure if you fixed it already but it works on my side. Could it be a browser issue?
P.S. I am using Chrome.

We figured it out.

Repeaters is a very poorly documented feature. When you add a row to a repeater, it’s not enough to simply click the repeater you want to add to. You also have to click Add Rows at the bottom and add the rows there as well.

Every team I’ve worked with using Axure has avoided repeaters like the plague. However, in this one project, there was no other way.

Thanks for looking into it!
