HubDB & Hubl: Output multi-select options in hubdb_table_rows using nested loop (How-to)

Like everything else, it makes perfect sense once you know how-to.

HubDB Columns of Multi-Select type are accessed as nested rows. To get to the multi-select options of a row, you can simply nest a row for loop inside a table for loop, with dot syntax using the HubDB Multi-Select Column Name.

Grab the code below:

HubDB Multi-Select Type Column for Bands — Table View

HubDB Multi-Select Type Column for Bands — Column Edit View

Hubl Code Multi-Select Type Column for Bands — Nested For Loop to access selected options

Hubl HTML Output Multi-Select Type Column for Bands — Nested For Loop displaying HubDB table info and selected options

Grab the code

{% for row in hubdb_table_rows('00000000') %}
   <h3>
      Row Name: {{ row.name }}
   </h3>
    <p>
      Row Multi-Select Options Count: {{ row.bands|length }}   
    </p>
    <ul>
      {% for foreign_row in row.bands %}
        <li>Multi-Select Option: {{ foreign_row.name }}</li>
      {% endfor %}
    </ul>
{% endfor %}

Wonder why Google Search Campaigns flood your conversions with odd seemingly similar names all with Gmail accounts even while following Google Ads recommendations and they refuse a refund?

Unsure why your business .com email is doing weird things and shooting to spam after the new DMARC settings update? Or why your CRM or email service is shouting warnings about not being setup correctly?

At a loss why pages on your website that ranked in SERPs last week are no longer ranking AT ALL after the March Google search algorithm update?
