@stc1705 Ok, after taking a look onto your code, i am able to say, that you must be relatively new to coding.

There are some issues in your code, also mixing DATASET-CODE with Wix-Data-code is not one of the best ideas. You better go either the one or the other way.

However, let’s switch to the issued code-lines…
This is aproxiatively how your code should look like…

import wixData from 'wix-data';
 
$w.onReady(async()=>{ 
    let foundResults = await getData('Comments'); console.log("RESULTS: ", foundResults);    
    $w('#dataset2').onAfterSave(() => {
        getData().then((items) => {
            $w('#dataset3').data = items;
        });
    });
}); 

function getData() {
    return wixData.query(DB)
    .limit(1000)
    .find()
    .then((res)=>{return res;})
    .catch((err)=>{console.log("ERROR occured!");});
}
  1. On top you have all library imports
  2. You always start your code with $w.onReady());
  3. Functions should always be placed either to the right related code-line ot to the very end of your code. (but not neccessary.

And my most important tip for you… always take a look onto the VELO-API, to get info of all currently used elements.

Whats going on here…?

$w('#dataset3').data = items; >--- maybe using a REPEATER here, would be better?)

Does .data somewhere exists inside dataset-api? Please check first.

But still something wrong with this code!!!

You said you need some actions when clicking the Submit-button ?
The action is already given and the SUBMIT-BUTTON even do not have to be coded.

You click the SUBMIT-BUTTON → some saving prozesses starts, right?

And what happens next?

$w('#dataset2').onAfterSave(() => {
      getData().then((items) => {
            $w('#repeater3').data = items;
      });
 });

Yes onAfterSave should run after saving-process.

Or i am today just overworked…to be continued! :sleeping:
