Bubble: Protection Score not updating in UI even though checkboxes save to database
Post Content Hi everyone, I’m building a Bubble MVP and I’m stuck on a UI data-binding issue. I have: * A SafetySettings data type * It stores boolean fields like: • safe_search • youtube_safe_mode • block_adult • block_violence • block_gambling • learning_unlimited Each child has one SafetySettings record. ⸻ What works The checkboxes are auto-bound to the database fields, so when I toggle them they save correctly. ⸻ What I’m trying to do Display a Protection Strength score (0–6) based on how many checkboxes are enabled. I tried calculating it in a text element using: safe_search:formatted as number • youtube_safe_mode:formatted as number • block_adult:formatted as number • block_violence:formatted as number • block_gambling:formatted as number • learning_unlimited:formatted as number ⸻ The problem The UI score does not update correctly, even though the database values change. ⸻ Setup Group Settings Type: SafetySettings Data source: Search for Childs:first item’s safety_settings Checkboxes use auto-binding to the parent group’s thing. ⸻ Question Is this the correct way to calculate a UI score from boolean fields? Or should this be handled with a workflow instead? ⸻ I’ll attach screenshots of: * Group data source * Checkbox auto-binding * Score expression * Safety Level conditions Thanks in advance!

Hi Shon, thanks for taking the time to look at this. 1️⃣ The text does update when I click the checkbox, but not correctly. For example, when I toggle the checkboxes, the Protection Strength bars and Safety Level label do not always change to the expected level. 2️⃣ The protection_score field is a number field in the SafetySettings datatype. Right now it is updated through workflows like this: When Checkbox value is changed → Make changes to SafetySettings → protection_score = Checkbox A is checked:formatted as number + Checkbox B is checked:formatted as number + Checkbox C is checked:formatted as number ... So the score is saved in the database, but the UI does not always reflect the correct value. Expected behaviour: The Protection Strength bars and Safety Level label should update instantly when checkboxes change. Actual behaviour: The value in the database updates, but the UI sometimes still shows the wrong strength level.

I’ve previously attached screenshots of:• Group data source• Checkbox auto-binding• Score expression• Safety Level conditions. You can take a look at the screenshots and Let me know if there is something wrong in the way I’m calculating or displaying the score. Thanks again!

Hey! My name is Anthony. My job is in logistics and operations. My current project is building a safeguarding app on Bubble focused on children’s online safety.
