How to add/append data to show on listing screen as a draft copy before save to table
Question

Hi, 

I m new to Outsystems, currently using outsystems ver.11 to do a web project. I am trying to create a screen which show a empty list at initial, then have Add button and Submit button. Add button will call the form input screen allow user to key in data and temporary stored and show on the list as draft records.  After adding few draft data records, once Submit button was clicked then only it will insert in to the entity.

May i know how can i do this using outsystems to temporary stored data in the listing at the client side.

Hi Kok,

You can create a local variable of list type may be of text type(may be of your choice) and then you can append that list one by one by adding the items to it(using list append system action) and at final stage you can call server action to save that record in the database. May i know where you got stuck while implementing this logic?

Hi Rahul

I'm using your solution in my project but I've come to an issue.

I have a similar task but my structure can't have a text value in it.so I changed Description input's variable to a List of Text and it displays same value in all rows.

Does this solution not work with List of Text datatype?

Thanks
