I tried to debug the code and added the comments as well. Check the above code whether it is working for your requirement 

Hi Saranya,

columns "Publication Type" and "Year Estimate" inputs are getting stored in local variables but not in rule inputs.

"Publication Name" column inputs/data not getting saved neither local or rule inputs.

Hi Shafi,

I would say, you can add and update using local variables and on the submit/ update button save the local variable to rule input

Hi,

I would suggest the same if your ri and local are of same type
