Hi,

My app has a collection card with few items. When user selects a few card items and click the submit button, the selected card items will be saved into another table.

Please assist. Thank you.

You can use a workflow to add rows to another table based on tour selection. Is that what you want to do?

I’d be curious about the bigger picture here. What is the purpose of the second table?

Depending on what you intend to do with it, there may be a better approach. Creating duplicate data is almost always a bad idea.

Hi MaximeBaker,

Thanks for your reply. I would like to save the user selected items in this format (Toilet Paper,Hand Soap,Toilet Bowl, Basin) at Items field on another table. Enclosed is screenshot of another table. Please assist. Thank you.

Hi Darren\_Murphy,

Thanks for your reply. I would like to use card collection as multiple Choice component for user to select. The user selected items will be saved into items field on another table in this format (Toilet Paper,Hand Soap,Toilet Bowl, Basin). Do you have any idea to do this. Thank you.

Kinda like a choicebox with multiple choices?

Here’s a choice component I created recently. Would this fit your need?

Yes. Is it possible to use card collection as choicebox with multiple choices?

It’s possible, but a little fiddly. If nobody else offers a solution I can make you a video guide in a day or two. I do not have time right now.

Actually, check this video I made some time ago. It may not be exactly what you need, but might give you a steer in the right direction.

Does it have to be a card collection? Does it work if it look like my solution above (using CSS)?
