Hi Braddo,


 


You will have to change your SAVE button rules to save all the entries to a new SmartObject.


 


e.g.


 


I created 2 SmartObject (Emp1 & Emp2) and generated an Editable List View from Emp1 (This SMO also contains some data):


 



 


 


I edited the following rule: When Save Toolbar Button is clicked


 


I disabled the 3 actions and added the following condition & method on the rule:


for ALL rows


     then on [SMO2] SmartObject, execute its Create method


 



 


Runtime:


The first View opens and i can make changes as i want:


 



 


Click SAVE and look at the data in the Second SmartObject in the Database.

I had discovered this method - does this make sense to you?

on the editable list i make changes

Rule

when the view executed list item changed

apply the changes made to the row on the editable list

 

then i have a submit button on the form

and then the rule

On the view, using Smartobject, execute the create method for all the items that have been changed
