Hello! In my page, I have set up a collection list of “tasks” in my table. And for each row, I want to add a comment box for users to add their comments to that specific task. So far this is what I have:

 ![form in table](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/f/fa3f74480cca2f781554e31b5178ff476e2f4f08.jpeg)

However, when I tried to set up a form submission workflow to create a record in my database, I wasn’t able to find the variable linked to the text input box. I try removing and adding both the text input box and the whole form, but it still didn’t appear. How do I create that workflow or was I not supposed to create a form within a collection list? Thank you!

When inputs are in a repeated element (collection list, columns ecc) you need to keep track of the values with variables and workflows.  
[This guide](https://community.weweb.io/t/are-form-variables-not-visible-while-the-form-is-in-a-collection-item/1138/6) explains how to do it.
