> 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](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. [This example](https://community.weweb.io/t/checkboxes-within-a-collection-list/1379/3) is similar, but using checkboxes. You can adapt the sam principle to work with the select or any other input.
