Dropdowns, filters, repeaters...

Hi there,

I am totally new to coding but slowly wrapping my head around it! I have a dropdown option which filters my data and displays it on a repeater.

However when this happens the dropdown list is loosing all other options. I’d like the dropdown to display all option and have the ability to ‘filter again’ after it has already initially filtered.

So far I have the below code, am I missing something?

Hi,

You can have two different datasets on the same page connected to the same collection. In other words, add another dataset, call it “dataset2” for purposes of discussion, and have that be the source of dropdown list items. That way, dataset2 will continue to have all its options after you issue a setFilter command.

Hi Anthony,

Thank you so much. Connecting the dropdown to another data set did work as I wanted, but, now when you select an option nothing displays on the repeater.

I’m totally stumped!

I honestly appreciate all of your help!

Hi Phillip,

A couple things come to mind:

  • The elements in the repeater still need to be connected to dataset1.

  • There is no need to connect the Typesofartist dropdown to a dataset.
