Create a list/array of strings from datacards/text boxes

Hello,

I'm trying to create an app where the user will enter manually a set of small strings into datacards/text boxes.

The amount of individual text boxes are around 50 or so..

Do I need to declare an individual variable for each text box/datacardvalue in order to be able to reach them in my flow?

I was hoping I could append all these strings into an array, and then access them in my flow.

Any help or advice is appreciated.

BR John

Hi @Johnolnes ,

You can set a Table Variable

UpdateContext( varItems: { Field1: TextBox1.Text, Field2: TextBox2.Text, Field3: DatePicker1.SelectedDate, Field4: TextBox3.Text, . . . . . . } )

Hello @WarrenBelz,
thanks again for taking your time to help me!

I don't understand how I can use UpdateContext.
This is a local variable which I can't access in my flow later on, right?
