Inline edit task on submit

[jarryd]

Hi WW community!
I’m seeking help to implement an inline edit capability for a list of tasks. I’d like to allow a user to click an existing title of a task and edit it. When the user begins to edit, a button will appear and allow the user to either save the edit or hit enter to save it. I’m able to display the tasks and edit the tasks but cannot save the task being edited. I’m using a form in a repeating container (tasks) but when adding a workflow on the form ‘upon form submit’, i cannot find the input field to patch into the existing task (stored in xano). What is the suggested approach for this? Thank you in advance!

You can’t refence the variable as its being repeated. So what you can do is create an array and when you change the input update the array at the index of the task and then use that array to to patch into the existing task.

If this doesn’t quite make sense there’s a few other forum post with similar issues. So have a look around and im sure you can find an answer that make sense!

Good luck!

Select dropdown in collection list

When inputs are in a repeated element (collection list, columns ecc) you need to keep track of the values (in your case the selected values) using variables and workflows. This guide explains how to do it. This example is similar, but using checkboxes. You can adapt the sam principle to work with the select or any other input.
