Hello. Anyone know how to save/update multiple local!variables in a gridTextColumn's links? I can get it to update one variable (local!theID) like this:

links: apply(a!dynamicLink(value: _, saveInto: local!theID), {local!allIDs})),

But getting it to also save another variable like in the following does not work:

links: apply(a!dynamicLink(value: _, saveInto: {local!theID,a!save(local!subID,-1)}), {local!allIDs})),
...

Thanks Aleksi. However the problem/issue appears to be with a!dynamicLink's saveInto in the context of apply.

applyComponents also doesn't do the additional a!save() in the a!dynamicLink's saveInto, see below. Basically I need the dynamicLink to update the value of local!theID and also update/reset another local!subID to -1:

links: a!applyComponents(a!dynamicLink(value: _, saveInto: {local!theID,a!save(local!subID,-1)}), {local!allIDs}, {}))

The solution is to make a custom rule! which makes the dynamicLink and then its saveInto can be a list:

links: a!applyComponents(function: rule!makeDL(_), array: {local!allIDs})

Where rule!makeDL takes a Any arg like:

a!dynamicLink(
value: ri!arg,
saveInto: {local!theID,a!save(local!subID,-1)}
)

hi, i encoutered this issue several days ago. it seems "dynamicLink" can only save one variable.

i changed to use editable gird later(make all fields readonly),
in this way, "dynamicLink" can save multiple variables.
