I'm a novice at Appian, but i need to buld a form where the user can select a collection of products and quatities. When the form loads I dont know how many products there will be in the collection, so i need to build functionality that allowws the user to capture the first product an quantity. I then need to give the user the option to add another "line" where he can add another product an quatity.

How do i achieve this?

@pieterk. You can use an editable grid and use dropdown or pickers as columns to select products and quantity

Another option is to have one set of dropdown / picker (1 for product and 1 for quantity) and a button or link say 'Add Item' to add the selected item into a read only grid. The read only grid can have a last column to remove each item.

This way you don't need to allow the user to change the product / quantity after addition. Again this is just another option and all depends on your requirement whether you allow EDIT / DELETE.
