How to edit individual components of a dynamic expression in Bubble.io: Step-by-Step Guide

 

- Click on the text element containing the dynamic expression you want to edit. This could be anything from a text field displaying user data to a calculated total in an e-commerce app.

 

- Once you have the text element opened, you need to navigate to the part of the dynamic expression—the specific atom—that you wish to edit.

 

- You can enter the edit mode of a dynamic expression by either: - Clicking directly on the atom within the expression that you want to change. For example, if the expression reads "Search for Users: count", you can click on either "Search for Users" or "count" to adjust the respective atom of the expression. - Using the arrow keys on your keyboard to move left and right within the expression. This approach works similarly to editing text and can be more precise if you're dealing with a complex expression.

 

- After selecting the atom, you can either edit it directly (change a parameter or operator) or replace it with another appropriate atom. If you're editing numerical values or text, ensure that the new value adheres to the original atom's data type.

 

- If the logic requires it, you can insert additional atoms to refine the expression further. For example, to filter a list before counting, add a filter operator between the search and aggregation atoms.

 

- After editing the dynamic expression, test it to see the results of your changes. You can do this by previewing the app or using the debugger to step through workflow actions associated with the dynamic text.

 

- Make sure that the edited expression still makes logical sense and that it’s consistent with any workflows that depend on its output. For example, changes in a search expression may affect visibility conditions elsewhere in the app.

 

- Once you're satisfied with the updated dynamic expression, save your changes. Remember, dynamic expressions are real-time, so any adjustments will reflect immediately upon the next execution.
