I have a dynamic table connected to my database in Xano, when I click on one of the inputs I can add a new value, the idea is to be able to edit the values in the table

what happens to me is that I cannot find the variable Amount-1 which is where I am entering the new value, if anyone has an idea of how I can do it, I have thought about creating a new variable but I have managed to get no results yet

You need to add a workflow to the input so it saves the inputted data somewhere @dorilama had multiple threads about this 🙂 Basically a repeated input field loses the “state” that is exposed when you place an input in your app once it’s bound to a collection and repeated.

> No need to retrieve the input with js. You can keep track of the values using variables and workflows. create a variable of type object on your inputs add a workflow triggered on change where you change the variable Now on submit you can access the values: [chrome\_kiGf8an4uI]
