How to Add Filters to Repeating Groups or Tables in Bubble.io

If you're building with Bubble.io and want to make your app more dynamic and user-friendly, adding filters to repeating groups or tables is a must-have feature.

In this tutorial, I walk you through how to set up filters using input fields, dropdowns, and more β€” all without writing a single line of code.

πŸ” Why Filters Matter

Repeating groups are powerful, but without filtering, they can become overwhelming for your users. By allowing users to narrow down what they see based on specific criteria, you improve both usability and performance.

Use cases include:

  • Marketplaces (filter by category, price, etc.)
  • Dashboards (filter by date, status, owner)
  • CRMs (filter by name, stage, priority)

βœ… What You'll Learn

In this tutorial, I cover:

  • Setting up a basic repeating group
  • Adding filters with input fields and dropdowns
  • Chaining multiple filter conditions
  • Best practices for responsiveness and performance
  • Real-world example: filtering a product or transaction list

🧠 Pro Tips

  • Always double-check your search constraints inside the repeating group’s data source.
  • Use "Ignore empty constraints" to make filters optional.
  • Combine multiple inputs using "Do a Search for" + Advanced filters when needed.
