Hello Bruno,

First of all welcome to out community.

You can achieve this by creating a record list with a variable of the type you want. So if your action returns 5 all you need to do is to create a record list with a structure with the parameter of the type you want and append it to the record list 5 times. Then put this record list in a tablerecord and put an input field assign to the recordlist variable.

If this is too confusing I'll try to post here a sample when I have more time ;)
Nevertheless I hope this helps you.
Cheers,
André

Hi folks, I need something like that, but in my case I have two record lists, one with groups and other with items of groups. How can I do that, because I can't put one table record inside another. Thanks.

Hello Alexandre,

It's true that you can't put a table record inside another..
However you can put a WebBlock inside a table record and, that WebBlock can contain a table record..
So, you can do exactly what you want with the solution given by André joined with the tip I just gave you..
Good luck ..

Kind Regards,
Gonçalo Martins

Hi Sunny,

Here's an upgraded version. Note that I didn't check whether it still works.

Hi Kilian, 

In my case I need to calculate the total of the score. (I have provided one attribute as integer in my structure) I want to calculate the total runtime. Can you please tell me, How I can achieve this? Sharing the OML as well.

Thanks
