So I'm building a store in appian and i want the user to be able to rate a product and I want it saved so then ofter i can show an average rating of the product, what should I do in order to save the rating of the user in the database after i click the star icon or after i click a button to save the rating? i already have a database set up. Or if thats not possible is there any other way to do it?

a!sideBySideItem( item: a!richTextDisplayField( label: "Rate the Product", labelPosition: "ABOVE", value: { a!forEach( items: enumerate(local!totalStars) + 1, expression: { a!richTextIcon( icon: if( fv!index <= local!rating, "star", "star-o" ), color: "ACCENT", linkstyle: "STANDALONE", link: a!dynamicLink( value: if(local!rating=fv!index, 0, fv!index), saveInto: local!rating )
I have this between the rest of the expressian
I would suggest to review a!writeToDataStoreEntity(), which you can use in the saveInto of your a!dynamicLink to persist the selected rating to the DB.
will try it out thank you
