A tab container with several tabs displaying related information.
One of these tabs has a 1:3 column layout with:
A todo list on the left.
A todo detail container on the right.
I’m wondering if it’s possible to connect the selected todo entry from the list to display the details in the right-side container. I’ve been searching, but I haven’t found anything other than vague talk about hidden fields and lists, as the related URLs weren’t working anymore.
Just a heads-up: I’m still getting the hang of Softr, so if I’ve missed something or a helpful link, please share!
Currently, Softr doesn’t support dynamically updating a details container on the same page when selecting an item from a list. However, you can achieve a similar experience by using a modal: when a user clicks a todo item, the modal pops up showing the details for that item—without leaving the page.
This is the simplest and most effective way right now to display todo details alongside your list.
Thanks again David! Other than the ‘standard’ way of doing things, is it possible at all to achieve what I’d like to do with some trickery? If so, where should I look?
Well, you can try achieving that using Vibe Coding block instead of the Column Containers. Or Inbox block may be helpful as well, although I am not sure
Yeah, Softr DB as a datasource is not supported for the Inbox block. Here you can use Vibe Coding to create something similar and to connect it to Softr DB.
