Hi

I have a paginated collection which is retrieved from xano. looks like this

{EBDB6866-5501-43BC-B5E4-8EDFC229874B}
{EBDB6866-5501-43BC-B5E4-8EDFC229874B}711×595 37.9 KB

I want to use “UPDATE COLLECTION” inside a workflow so the front end gets updated. (just front end…)

I keep getting this error

name: "TypeError"

stack: "TypeError: m.findIndex is not a function at Object.updateCollection (https://editor-cdn.weweb.io/public/js/index.43a138e7.js:1:440354) at E (https://editor-cdn.weweb.io/public/js/index.43a138e..."

message: "m.findIndex is not a function"

I tried both id and items.id for id key

{47E06D44-4ECE-4F0A-9277-FB0CA0AB390B}
{47E06D44-4ECE-4F0A-9277-FB0CA0AB390B}1006×739 56.1 KB

Any clue why its giving that error ?

Hello @dingan

The action will only work if your collection is an array/list of data. In the case of a paginated Xano collection, Xano returns an object. Supabase doesn’t, hence no issues with it.

Is there an alternative way to do this when collection is xano based

4

For now, no, you need to check if there is a way for Xano to return an array. It’s a Xano issue.

Did you get this to work?

I’m attempting to update an item within a Kanban after being dragged to a different column (status). Seeing the same error you are even though my structure in Xano is to listen for a Raw JSON payload.

Hi, if you just wrap you Xano response between ‘[’ ']'s, then the update will work.
EDIT: scratch that, it will just mess up the whole collection
EDIT2: I just got that I have to change the collection API, not the update API.

I don’t know how many records you expect in the future and how many fields/properties/data you want to fetch, but the DOM can handle quite a lot. Then you can paginate at the front end and your collection week will be an array.
