How to configure a dropdown list to save multiple times

You probably want your saveInto to append to an array.

a!localVariables(
  local!value,
  local!values,
  {
    a!dropdownField(
      label: "Dropdown",
      placeholder: "Choose value",
      choiceLabels: { "Value 1", "Value 2", "Value 3" },
      choiceValues: { "Value 1", "Value 2", "Value 3" },
      value: index(local!value, "name", null),
      saveInto: {
        a!save(local!value, a!map(name: save!value)),
        a!save(
          local!values,
          append(local!values, local!value)
        )
      }
    ),
    a!gridField(
      data: local!values,
      columns: { a!gridColumn(value: fv!row.name) }
    )
  }
)

Thanks for answering!  ! but since my list of dropwdown is actually a list of data, it gives me this error

Interface Definition: Expression evaluation error at function a!gridField [line 520]: Invalid types, can only act on data of the same type (Text, Any Type)

This is how my choiceValues are : a!forEach(
items: local!iusersData,
expression: fv!item.Soeid
),

for displaying in the grid

Not much to go on. Would need more details.

the local variable that has my list of values for the dropdown each item in that list is a row of data it has name, id, and email. for the dropdown I'm only showing the name, but when I save the selection into the map it saves eveything 3 times . so for example:

saveInto: {
a!save(local!value, a!map(Name:save!value, id: save!value, Email: save!value)),
a!save(
local!values,
append(local!values, local!value)
),

it saves :

name: ana , 7, ana @gmail.com

id: ana , 7, ana @gmail.com

email: ana , 7, ana @gmail.com

a!localVariables(
  local!choices: {
    a!map(id: 1, name: "Ana", email: "ana@test.com"),
    a!map(id: 2, name: "Joe", email: "joe@test.com"),
    a!map(id: 3, name: "Jane", email: "jane@test.com")
  },
  local!value,
  local!values,
  {
    a!dropdownField(
      label: "Dropdown",
      placeholder: "Choose value",
      choiceLabels: index(local!choices, "name", {}),
      choiceValues: index(local!choices, "id", {}),
      value: local!value,
      saveInto: {
        local!value,
        a!save(
          local!values,
          append(
            local!values,
            index(
              local!choices,
              wherecontains(
                save!value,
                cast(
                  a!listType(typeof(1)),
                  index(local!choices, "id", {})
                )
              )
            )
          )
        )
      }
    ),
    a!gridField(
      data: local!values,
      columns: { a!gridColumn(value: fv!row.name) }
    )
  }
)

Thank you so much ! it worked ! I appreciate your help,

by any chance do you know what is the best way to add the remove column to this grid? This is what I have but doesn't seem like the best way, it still gives me an erros

a!gridColumn(
label: "",
value: a!buttonArrayLayout(
buttons: a!buttonWidget(
icon: "Remove",
width: "MINIMIZE",
style: "DESTRUCTIVE",
saveInto: {
value: if(
isnotnullorempty(local!gridData[fv!row]),
a!iconButton(
icon: "remove",
altText: "Delete",
onClick: a!save(
local!gridData,
remove(local!gridData, fv!row)
),
showWhen: isnotnullorempty(local!gridData[fv!row])
),
null
),

},

)
),

)

You can't use buttons in a grid.

  local!values,

    a!dropdownField(
