Yes the local!user is just a list of string value. And your solution works . Thank you very much

RE: Passing data to a CDT from a editable grid

So I'm a little unclear whether local!user is intended to be a CDT similar to ri!user, or if it's just a list of usernames (i.e. text). So for now I'm assuming it's only a list of usernames, based on the value: parameter of the text field in the grid row.

I assume you're just trying to give the user a chance to enter any edits to a user in the grid, then save the result (with any changes) into the ri!users CDT, where the usernames are stored in the ".username" property of the CDT. This save will occur during the button click, by looping over local!user and creating a dictionary for each item, and saving all of that into ri!users. I'm not sure why you have a "selectionSaveInto", that doesn't appear needed so I've commented it out.

Please see the example below, and note that I've removed a few irrelevant sections of the form - the only relevant changes are to the grid and to the submit button. Though I've also cleaned up the formatting some.

a!localVariables(
  local!user: rule!MV_readCSVcontent(
    if(
      isnull(ri!day),
      today() - 1,
      ri!day
    )
  ),
  local!exportDocId,
  local!errorMessage,
 
  { 
    /* section removed from example, no changes should be needed */
    
    a!gridLayout(
      label: "grid",
      labelPosition: "COLLAPSED",
      headerCells: {
        a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Username")
      },
      columnConfigs: {
        a!gridLayoutColumnConfig(
          width: "DISTRIBUTE"
        )
       
      },
      rows: {
        a!forEach(
          items: local!user,
          expression: {
            a!gridRowLayout(
              id: fv!index,
              contents: {
                a!textField(
                  label: "Username",
                  value: fv!item,
                  saveInto: {
                    fv!item
                    /* a!save( */
                      /* ri!users.username, */
                      /* fv!item */
                    /* ) */
                  }
                )
              }
            )
          }
        )
      },

        /* items: local!user, */

        false(),
        true()
      ),
      validations: {},
      shadeAlternateRows: true,
      
    ),
    
    /* link field removed from example, no changes should be needed */
    
    a!buttonLayout(
      primaryButtons: {
        a!buttonWidget(
          label: "Submit",
