I have used repeating groups and nested ones too without issues. However, I now want to display a repeating group but within each items row, add a dropdown which allows the user to set a quantity. So table A has a list of items A1, A2, A3 which are shown in the repeating group fine. I want to set different quantities of these items and then save them away into a table B.

The issue is that the workflow I use to save into table B allows me to access the items A1, A2, A3 but not the values of the drop downs

Hey @garymwilson  
You could set a custom state that will be updated whenever the dropdown value is changed allowing you to capture the information needed for table B, alternatively you could use plugins like:  
RG Extractor (Free) or

Hi,  
Thanks for the RG Extractor suggestion which I have loaded. I have an extractor in the first row of my RG but I cannot refer to this from the workflow. Any ideas? I thought it might be under the RG.
