**Question:**  
Hey! so I wanted to ask how I can change text in one repeater but I don’t want the text to change in other repeaters

**Product:**  
Repeaters in Wix

**What are you trying to achieve:**  
So i have a bunch of services and it’s set up with repeaters. the issue is that if i change the description in one repeater, it changes it in the others aswell and i don’t want that. it is connected to a database and i have changed the text there too but still it’s not changing on the website.

**What have you already tried:**  
I have tried filling up the Short bio and other details in the database, i have also tried looking for an option which doesn’t duplicate the text but i didn’t find it.

**Additional information:**  
[Include any other pertinent details or information that might be helpful for people to know when trying to answer your question.]

Each occurrence of the repeater can be accessed with its own $w instance, named `$item` as standard

```js
$w('#repeater').onItemReady(($item, data, index) => { ... })
// This assigns the function specified within to be ran for each item in the repeater whenever loaded

$w('#repeater').forEachItem(($item, data, index) => { ... })
// This fires the function specified once for each item
```
