Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have set up a list of ranked issues using raw html in Forms. I need to convert it using Types so I can save the data in the db. (See screenshot below.)

It seems I would want to somehow group the numeric rating input fields, but I am looking for any suggestions on the best way to do this.
And in case it is not obvious, this is *not* an ordered list; It is a list of items, with each having its own 1-10 ranking of importance. Theoretically, someone *could* rank every item with a 10. Although that's quite unlikely.

What is the link to your site?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

The best way to group your text item with ranking is you should create a repeating field group where you should add one field that should hold the ranking and the text field should hold your text information.

Thank you, Minesh.

I understand generally how Repeated Fields function works, but I am a little confused how to access the data for display.
For instance, if I have the fields: rank-num and rank-item...

Repeating Group "personality-ranks": Repeating fields: rank-num and rank-item:

rank-num rank-item
9 item-1
7 item-2
10 item-3

If I want to display the above data after the form has been submitted, how do I do that? I have tried this once before and gave up on the Repeated Group/Fields functionality. If there is good documentation on this, please show me the link. I was not able to find that info using Search.

Thanks for your help.
Jeff

I understand how repeated groups and fields work. But, I could not find documentation on displaying the data for those fields, once the form has been submitted. Can you please point me to some docs for that?

Thanks,
Jeff

Hello Jeff! Minesh won't be available for a couple of days. If you don't mind, I'll continue with you on this ticket.

First, you need to configure the form to redirect to somewhere(the created post, another post, another page, etc.). Inside this target page/post, you can display the repeated groups using a view. Check this article's section https://toolset.com/course-lesson/creating-and-displaying-repeatable-field-groups/#displaying-repeatable-field-groups

Keep in mind that you need a content template or a view to display Toolset data. The content template is meant to display one pot, whereas the views are meant to display a list of posts.

Keep in mind that the content template needs to know what post to display. It is automatically inferred inside single post pages. But, if you want to display a post inside a page, you need to pass the post ID to the content template. Using the item attribute. https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views/views-shortcodes/item-attribute/

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
