While creating the rule input, process variable or activity class parameter you would need to click the check box to make it "Array"

Is your rule input multiple type? If it is you can write multiple rows to the table.

How do i write to multiple records? Right now if i use the saveInto, it only writes to one row and same with the process model route. Thanks for the help

Hey, If you need to write to the database, you would have to use Write to Datastore entity node in process model or function in saveInto on interface. You would also have to write the whole row otherwise the other columns would get nullified, so plase do not use selection while writing to DB.

QueryEntity works like a SQL-Select. To write to DB you would use a Write To Datastore Node in a process model.
