(When) will the block repeater be supported in Horizon (and theme blocks)?

Hey folks,

Congrats on launching Horizon - really digging the new theme!

I keep running into the same issue: there’s still no support for a block repeater that lets us dynamically loop through metaobject entries or list types, and automatically assign fields from those objects to each block. This is a big deal when trying to build flexible sections that pull in custom data. We use this for anything from simple USPs and FAQs to more content driven text-with-image sections.

Also, I noticed any mention of the repeater function seems to have vanished from the docs lately (:eyes:). Not sure if that means it’s off the roadmap or just being reworked?

Is there any update on if/when we’ll see repeater functionality for theme blocks?

Asked this question before, and sorry to Arthur for keep bothering you with this - but I find it very relevant.

Hey @Curzey_A! Glad you’re enjoying the new themes. :+1:

You’re right. Block repeaters that loop through metaobject entries are not in Horizon yet.
We know it’s a gap and we’re actively investigating bringing it to Theme Blocks and improving the functionality over all.

This feature would be so incredibly helpful to have back, the ability to structure data dynamically through Metaobjects is so useful it should be essential IMO! Looking forward to an update on this one :slight_smile:

Bumping this - we really need the reapeter functionality in Horizon. I’ve tried pretty much everything to “cheat” my way around it but it ends up at a dead end every time.

These are essential parts of a vast majority of eCommerce sites where the repeater (or lack of) breaks any sort of meaningful implementation on Horizon:
FAQs
Store Listing/locator
Recipes/Guides
Inspirational content
USPs

And while you’re at it, maybe filtering functionality for metaobject indexes ? :slight_smile:
And an Overlay Group!

Is there any update on bringing block repeaters into Horizon?

Are there any updates?
