Widgets in Repeaters

Hello!

Currently we can’t add repeaters into repeaters which is not something required too often but we can’t also add widgets into repeaters.

The point I want to touch is it’s okay to not put widgets that contains repeaters into repeaters. But we must be able to put widgets that contains (only) elements that’s alreadys supported inside a repeaters into another repeater.

Ofc it would be also great to have the repeater inside repeater feature asap. This is something advanced and as I said (repeater in repeater) not used too often but it’s important to have when you need it otherwise we are required to build the elements we need via custom elements which is making it much more harder especially when the custom element itself also complex.

Currently I need to build a design system and re-use it into multiple sites and yes I can create components with Wix Blocks which is very nice but there is no meaning when I can’t put these components (even the ones that doesn’t have any repeater in it) into repeaters in the Studio Editor. This is important and should be addressed asap imo.

Thanks!

This is a great idea! Please submit it to the roadmap: Product Roadmap

Even better. It’s already on the Roadmap (and it’s planned!) - Wix Blocks Request: Adding a Widget Inside a Repeater | Help Center | Wix.com

This idea is not new, unfortunely.

I think it was mentioned already more then a few times.

However this feature would be appreciated for sure.

You mabe can’t put repeater into repeater → that’S right.

But if it would help you → you can put table into repeater, otherwise → YES ← you would need to do it either on a CUSTOM-ELEMENT or HTML-Comp. like you already mentioned.

Yes I have submitted it already before I post this here.

I know this and I was aware of this but this is a request that’s right there for like more than a year I guess. And another thing is I don’t mean only the repeater-in-repeater feature, that’s important and must have for advanced UI.

But second thing is using widgets in repeaters. Components we built in Wix Blocks are not very useful when we can’t put them into repeaters (inside the editors not only in the Wix Blocks) so I said: at least let us put widgets that doesn’t have repeater in it into repeaters.

I hope these issues/features will be addressed asap because it’s a big part of advanced UI. When you build something complex you will %100 need the logic of repeater in repeater.
