Nested repeating panel, get item(s) when checked

[sprince]

I have a repeating panel with a nested repeating panel. When the check box is checked in the nested panel, I want to capture the selected item plus the higher level selected item:

Looking at the image, I want to capture “question 0” and “question 2” PLUS “math.”
“math” is the highest level repeating panel item. I can capture the lower level but not the higher. Ideas??

Hello,

Just some general information that I reference often that might help.

This post contains lots of nice info on “reaching back” to parent forms to access their components. You can also store methods on forms and “reach back” to call them. In your case, having looked very quickly, you may need to do some of this to access the parent form/component.

Dashboard form with embedded pages

Hi @david.wylie and @meredydd Thanks for these helpful tips. I have a question about what is most “Anvil-ic” (best practice) about displaying a new page in an app. So far I have used three methods for this: open_page('my_new_page') self.content_panel.clear() self.content_panel.add_component(my_new_page()) get_open_form().content_panel.clear() get_open_form().content_panel.add_component(new_page) I can see that method 3 works well if you are sitting on a component that lives inside…

You may also search the forum for related terms (like parent form, outer form, get_open_form, etc…).

I hope this helps to point you in the right direction.

Also see this post which connects to many related threads and ideas that deal with accessing functions that live outside the current form.

Access function from a different form

You could use similar techniques though in various ways. In general, to call functions that exist elsewhere, you can try the following: you could store the form that has the desired function on the main form (see here) you could store your function in a module you could store your function on a component (that you can access) you can use parent to access the parent form (though this is not always a great approach) you could pass an instance of form to another form (and thus have a…
