Looking to see if there’s a way to pass the widget name as a parameter to identify which column it should use in a repeater table.
I have 36 columns, and therefore 36 cells per repeater row that each need me to hand type in their column names. I would think it would be easier to just write a function to say “take the name of this widget and lookup the column that has that same name” or something like this…
[[Item.colName(This.name)]]
That way, all the widgets could use the same function and I could just copy paste them. Right now I’m hand entering all the column names one by one. Additionally, if in the future, I need to edit column names, I’ll have to come back and correct them instead of the widget dynamically identifying the column based on its name.
Anyone find a workaround for this? Or maybe I’m just doing it wrong? I also tried this (below) and it doesn’t work, though I knew it wouldn’t…
[[Item.LVAR1]] … where LVAR1 = This.name
or even…
[[Item(This.name.substring(5,This.name.length)]]
No matter how hard I prayed they didn’t work
Also, FYI - no I cannot share screenshots or files… uploading a file might trigger my company to flag me and I could get fired… I work in enterprise UX and it’s a VERY proprietary environment so please bear with me
