my rule input is an array of data, using a map data type to pull in multiple records from the Software and related Software Category record types:

mappedValue (1 item)List of Map
[[decision:false,software:[SAL Software id=29, name= sint veniam magna, vendorName= commodo amet proident, softwareCategory=[SAL Software Category id=7, name=Custom Applications, description=software developed in-house to fulfil specific purposes]]; [SAL Software id=30, name=elit dolor nostrud, vendorName=dolor pariatur nulla, softwareCategory=[SAL Software Category id=6, name=Component, description=required for other software to run]]; [SAL Software id=31, name=Adobe Acrobat, vendorName=Microsoft, softwareCategory=[SAL Software Category id=10, name=Paul Test Category, description=Paul Test Category]]; [SAL Software id=32, name=Microsoft CRM, vendorName=Microsoft, softwareCategory=[SAL Software Category id=7, name=Custom Applications, description=software developed in-house to fulfil specific purposes]]; [SAL Software id=33, name=Microsoft CR#, vendorName=Microsoft, softwareCategory=[SAL Software Category id=6, name=Component, description=required for other software to run]]]]

FYI you might want to modify your original post and remove the data you originally pasted, insted copying and pasting into a Plaintext Editor first, because it all has hyperlinks pointing (presumably) to your appain environment at the moment:

(also, copying and pasting seemingly the entire process data set here is really not relevant - can you refine it a bit to include only what's relevant to your question?)

Your structure is incorrect for your rows.

For an editable grid, "rows: {}" should contain an array of rows (one for each item in the data set you choose).

Each row should be a single gridRowLayout() containing an array of components (one for each column).

Instead what you have here is backwards, essentially you're creating a single row and then repeating each component multiple times.

Just guessing, but you probably want a structure more like:

rows: a!forEach(
  items: ri!mappedValue,
  expression: a!gridRowLayout(
    contents: { /* your individual components go here */ }
  )
)

Hi Mike

Thanks for your response.

I'm not sure whether I got it right  - here's what my structure looks like now:

As I understand it, to get a separate approval for a title I need to save into each mapped value item in my rule input, which looks like this:

In essence, for each title I need to be able to save a decision.

I'm just not sure how to proceed from here.

If you haven't built your prototype GridRowLayout yet, start with that, and give it 1 field, and get that working.  Then add another field.
