i believe you should be able to get it to work with array of text, where each member of the array is a concatenated list of usernames. however it might be best to be using an array of CDT where one of the fields of the CDT is an array of users - that way you wouldn't have to do as much special handling when saving / reading the rule input data.

what data type is the rule input?

yes Mike, till that point its working, but when we create a new row clicking on "Add New manager" and key in the "Approvers" it will update in Rule Input Replacing the first Row data instead of appending it, something like,

Approvers Level
User1, User2 , User3 1 ->> in this point the Rule Input Array = User1;User2;User3(Index 1, 2, 3)
User4, User5, User6 2 --> in this point the above data is over-rightten instead of adding a data into
array Rule Input Array = User4;User5;User6(Index 1,2,3)

so what i want is all the row data in the grid should be present in the Rule Input array
something like

rule Input array = {
User1;User2;USer3,
User4,User5;USer6,
...
....
....
....

}

Can you explain a bit more about what you're trying to have happen, and what's happening incorrectly when you use my code posted above? When I click "Add Manager", it adds a new row which I assume is what you were expecting. Each row can have up to 4 users selected in the "name" column which also seems to be what you were after. I'm not sure where you're using joinArray() or what you're expecting it to do (but be aware that it creates a text-only output).

Hi Mike,
i tried the above , it worked, but when i hit on "Add New Manager" and key in the manager details, the array value gets replaced on the first row, how to over come this,
what i have done is , i have used "JoinArray" property to take all the items and save in one with comma separated,
not when i add the new approver, it should be added in the index 2 instead of replacing the first

Well, your user picker wasn't saving anything in the version you posted because it doesn't contain any SaveInto. I've revised your form somewhat to where it saves everything locally. If you still need it to interact with a rule input in some specific way, you'll need to explain a bit more clearly what you're hoping to have happen. But for now hopefully this is a good start:

load(
  /*local!apprName,*/
  local!Managers: {},
  a!formLayout(
    label: "Adding, Editing or deleting additional manager",
    contents: {
      a!paragraphField(
        label: "DEBUG",
        showWhen: false(),
        value: local!Managers
      ),
      
      a!gridLayout(
        totalCount: count( local!Managers ),
        headerCells: {
          a!gridLayoutHeaderCell( label: "Name" ),
          a!gridLayoutHeaderCell( label: "level" ),
          a!gridLayoutHeaderCell( label: "" )
        },
        columnConfigs: {
          a!gridLayoutColumnConfig(width: "DISTRIBUTE", weight: 5),
          a!gridLayoutColumnConfig(width: "DISTRIBUTE", weight: 3),
          a!gridLayoutColumnConfig(width: "ICON")
        },
        rows: a!forEach(
          items: local!Managers,
          expression: a!gridRowLayout(
            id: fv!index,

If you have a more unusual use case, please provide relevant sample code so that we can see what you're trying to do.

Hi Stewart, thanks for the reply , but the PickerFieldUsers field is inside Grid, so the Above one is not working

Hi Vineeth

Just like any other interface input component it has a 'value' parameter and a 'saveInto' parameter. Set these both to point to the relevant rule input. So, where your rule input is ri!selectedUsers (an array of 'User'):

a!pickerFieldUsers(
value: ri!selectedUsers,
saveInto: ri!selectedUsers
)
