You can do this from any SAIL component with a!save() function so a button on link field: a!save(ri!myRuleInput, local!myLocalVar)

you can use a!save function for this. Here with this function you can set the value of local variable as well.

is there any way to save without a!save function. Used case is Load or with value should be stored in rule input in rule during initialization.

@jegadeeswarand I don't think that's possible because I believe that a!save is the only way as suggested. An other possibility could be initialising the rule inputs with the values with acp or pv. If possible I would like to suggest you to elaborate the usecase if possible so that the practitioners could come up with alternatives if possible.

Sorry but it doesn't make much sense, there is no benefit in updating the ri! value at initialisation as it can't be accessed until the form is submitted. At some point the form has to be submitted so a!save() is there to achieve this.

As per Tim's explanation above, there's limited benefit in saving a local variable to a rule input before the final submission of the form. The local variable should be used for computation / display purposes and then saved with a!save on form submission, etc.

Default values for AC variables can be set in the data input tab on the user input task.
