The Repeater element comes with a neat ‘animation’ button that allows you to select animations to use when the repeater loads. This is wonderful when the page/repeater initially loads but doesn’t get applied when the repeater is updated.
So for example my expectation would be that whenever a connected dataset page updates (thereby requiring a new set of items being populated in the repeater) that the same animation is used to update the repeater items. Instead it seems that each data set is hidden without animation and the next set is shown without animation.
This essentially means that I would need to write my own repeater if I want to animate page refreshes.
Am I missing something or is this a bug (unintended feature)?

Hey,
Animations defined on the repeater level are designed to happen just once, when the repeater is first shown / hidden.
Animations on the item level are designed to happen whenever any item enters/leaves the stage. Please try these as well and see if it matches your needs.
Good Luck,

Thanks Itai
I have done as you suggested. I was hoping to have either a scroll up or down effect or glide in or out. One problem which I guess needs to be a feature request is that you only provide entrance (in) effects and not exit (out) effects) so the inbound effects are preceded by abrupt disappearing elements.
I’ll play around with this but I think having control over repeater updates on page changes and having exit effects would be nice to have.
