The new multiple select reference field is awesome. I have been migrating over some hack jobs that I did before to get around this limitation. One thing I can’t figure out is how to make a repeater in a repeater. As an example, if I have Films and Actors and I want to list all the films in a repeater and have pictures of the main actors in each row, how can I do that? I want to pull it from a repeater, but that doesn’t work. Suggestions?

Hey Rodd,
You can add a table to your repeater to do that and then use Filter by Dataset.
Take a look here: CMS: About Displaying Content from Multiple Database Collections Using Reference Fields | Help Center | Wix.com

Yes, okay, thanks for this… very helpful… tables are a bit troublesome formatting wise, but technically it works… thanks!
Thanks for this… your comment also got me thinking about the ways that I could use data-linked galleries within the repeater, which is the way I ended up going because of the limitations in formatting a table - Ie, I wanted to apply a circle mask and also wanted the list running horizontally.
Please God, add this feature!
hi i was looking for some help with my table in my repeater. the information giving above are interesting but i don’t think it would work with what i have in mind. i am making a comment section with the repeater as my comment section and my table as replies.
the only problem is that not all comments have replies which i don’t think will make this method work. instead it make the same comment repeat.
i tried to search for method to work put i just don’t know how to go with this.
i found information about repeater coding and manage to make my table content an alt with the comment id. that is as far i could go ^^’ i just don’t know how to make it that only a certain table get the reply.
can someone please help me?
I thought this was a great solution! Is it possible to do something like this in EditorX? The current version doesn’t allow tables.
For anyone stumbling across this discussion, Repeater in Repeater was introduced to Wix Blocks not too long ago.
