RE: Saving values into a specific field in a CDT

The exact code needed for this depends on some more subtle factors that you haven't included yet, but in general, what I might consider doing in this scenario is to use a!forEach to construct each member of the CDT array per the IDs selected, inside your saveInto. Something like the following:

a!multipleDropdownField(
  choiceLabels: {"a", "b"},
  choiceValues: {1, 2},
  value: ri!myCdt.Id,
  saveInto: {
    ri!tempSave, /* could be a local variable instead of rule input */
    a!save(
      ri!myCdt,
      a!forEach(
        ri!tempSave,
        {
          Id: fv!item
        }
      )
    )
  }
)

An alternative approach would use similar code but in the saveInto of your submit button, basically to build the CDT array upon submission time instead of every time the multiple dropdown field is changed.
