I saw your other examples, did you actually try the above as written, without the [_] you were trying? I went ahead and made simple examples in my instance and have no problem saving the values.

That's exactly what I have Jessse, but whatever I enter into these dynamically created textboxes disappear after I click the mouse outside.

Okay, I think a key takeaway is how the recipe is passing ri!guests (the saveInto value)

Similar to what you wrote above, try a!applyComponents(function:rule!DCMIFS_TextField_ValidLength(label:_, value:ri!hours, saveInto:ri!hours),
array:local!technicalOfficers)

and see if that gets you closer. What I think will happen is that you'll be able to write and save into every text field, but they'll all hold the same value

also the applycomponents function in this example that you mentioned only has 1 parameter whereas I have 3 things...so its confusing as to how to map it.....

I tried following up the recipe on dynamically creating textboxes but its too much away from my concept...i have to make textboxes based on the value of a local variable that gets populated from a query rule.

Have you seen the SAIL_Recipes section available on forum? The following example should be of use.

a!applyComponents(function:rule!DCMIFS_TextField_ValidLength(label:_, value:_, saveInto:_),
array:merge(local!technicalOfficers,ri!hours, ri!hours))

This is the line where all the textFields are created dynamically....but whatever i enter intot these textFields disappear if I click outside...

I tried using applyComponents but it didn't solve the problem....any other suggestions...

You'll need to use a!applyComponents instead of apply()
