I have a repeater on my home page (connected to topics) with items consisting of an image, title and a bit of text (the usual card type of thing).
I wanted the text blurb to be contained in a collapsible text box so it doesn’t over run the container and provides the user with a show more which should then go to a dynamic single topic page.
The text is connected to my dataset is working fine, but I cant seem figure out how to connect the “Show More” to the dataset to populate it with the topic link/url.
Has anyone tied to do the same or have the same problem? Is this a limitation of the collapsible field do you know?
I’m replying to myself lol - I have thought of a dirty workaround.
I’ve set the link text to the background colour then just added a new text box as a dynamic link.
At least this way you get the truncated text with the dots,

Glad to hear this works!
This is the solution at the moment, as I don’t believe the Show More but can be bound using a dataset.
Using Velo, it’s possible to set the link - readMoreActionData - Velo API Reference - Wix.com - of the button.
Although, it sounds you’re setup.
I’d recommend disconnecting it from the data and disabling the “built-in” button, and then reconnect so you still have the behaviour you need without having to work around with changing the text colour to the background colour
