Hi developers
I had a requirement to add multiple records in one portal form - currently a record producer.
I was thinking that I could use a new table to hold the data - basically just simple people data: name, phone and email.
Person setting the order needs to be able to add several (new) entries in the table when submitting the order. However, the current solution is to enter the people data separately, submitting the request, doing this again (and again and again)... Then moving to a totally different form to enter all these persons to another form.
Has anyone done anything more simple? Perhaps a form where a user can "add rows" containing the data and then submitting the information all in one place.
Example: I need to fill in a form where I enter 5 persons to be added to the record. It's basically simple to add 5 fields to the form to hold the data of 5 persons. The problem comes up when I need to add 10 persons. Or even 50. I couldn't find any ootb solution so I need to reach out for you professionals.

The London release has a solution for this called a Multi-row variable set. You can find more details on this post or take a look at the docs site. If you're not able to wait for the London release there are some options on share, but I would recommend waiting and then taking advantage of the London feature.
If all you need is a multi-select for users you could use the list collector variable.
