Please help. I'm copying the dynamic actions DEMO, but I can't get the update functionality to work on my form. I've got it to the point where the form loads the data, I can edit it, but my update button doesn't seem to do anything. I'm going to include a screen shot of everything below. Please help.

There's a lot of pictures there that I can't follow all of them but just be aware that in an event, nothing after {redirect: in your event will actually happen. Unless you specifically need a redirect you should use {event:
If you press F12 and go to the Network tab, and THEN click update, one of the things you see will be the data your form sends to the server and its response. Have a look at that

Hi jformicola, than you for you screenshot, with these I resolved my questions in this post
https://www.chronoengine.com/forums/posts/t108015/loop-multiple-field.

Healyhatman - Thanks, but I don't understand your comment. Where do I hit f12? The redirect isn't the issue from what I can tell, I removed it.
Ieraroa - Thank you for your comment, I'm glad that my confusion helped you out somehow. I've tried to use your screenshots in conjunction with the demo setup and the best I can manage thus far is to get one field to update. I've tried using your screenshots to be able to update multiple, but to no avail.
Here are the debugs and some screen shots of the configuration I have now, which is allowing me to update just the "Subject" field. If someone could tell me how to now make it so I can update the remaining three fields at the same time, that would be helpful.
Healy - I was thinking about throwing a donation your way for the last one you helped me with, where do I do that? Please help!!!!

You have your text fields named incorrectly it looks like. They should be of the form group[number][name]. So for example your subject field should be called
groupname[{var:table1.row.data.id}][subject]and then you loop through {data:groupname}, and the value will be retrieved in each loop from {var:loop_event_name.row.subject}
That worked! Thanks so much! I'll make a donation🙂
One further question - in my haste to get this to work, I ended up destroying the work I did on the "new" button (it was working at one point). Do I have to create another set of fields to use in the "Form Area" section that the "new" button event points to?
Thanks again!

I ended up adding new text fields for the "New" button and everything seems to be working. Thanks again for your help!
g'day mate!
