Saving data in array

Save data from dynamic repeating form fields.

Overview

The issue occurs when trying to save multiple dynamic fields without properly configuring the loop and data provider settings.
Use a Loop action with the form data as the provider, then within the loop, set the Save Data action to use the current loop row as its data source.

Hi.

I have a form that can add more fields, but I can not save the data.
How do I create an array to save multiple dynamic fields from my form?

Hi Admin. How are you?

Well, I looked in the manual and I did not quite understand what it is to do.
I know that in the field "Data Provider" is used to create an array, but when I put some data and then I try to save some information, however I can not save this data.

Can you help me with this problem?

Answer

Hi Carlos,

The repeating fields is an advanced feature, you need to use a Loop to process the "save data" action multiple times, the "Data provider" of the "Loop" should be {data:model_name}, but the "Data provider" of the "Save data" should be the current loop data row: {var:loop_name.row}
