    Hi, Rather than checking if editable or not, can you try saving the value always in local and finally when user is done with UI update, in the button click save into you can store the local variables value to rule input variable.

    a!localVariables(
local!pets: {
{ a!map(petsNm: "dog", petsId: 1) },
{ a!map(petsNm: "Cat", petsId: 2) }
},
local!mappingId: 1,


local!petsSelected_ids: index(ri!pets, "petsIdFk", null()), /* local variable which holds old pet ids and new pet ids selected*/

a!multipleDropdownField(
/*disabled: not(ri!isEditable),*/
label: "Pets",
placeholder: "select a value",
choiceLabels: index(local!pets, "petsNm", null()),
choiceValues: index(local!pets, "petsId", null()),
value: local!petsSelected_ids,
saveInto: {
local!petsSelected_ids,
a!save(ri!pets,a!forEach(
items: local!petsSelected_ids,
expression: a!map(
petsIdFk: fv!item,
mappingKey: local!mappingId
