Hi Nigel,
Taking a closer look at your google places app.
Could this also be a generalized solution for entering multi-row API responses into a database? My use case seems pretty routine. Do you know if there is a simple solution?
Yes, as long as bubble thinks you have a list … Schedule an API in that list.

Do you know if “list to run on” in the Schedule an API on a list can accept a table not just a list from a single field (ie. place)? Also, do you know if “list to run on” needs to run a GET to the external API or can it be a POST response?
My external API r_pair_info is a table (red text). I’m POSTing data from Bubble->R and the response is a table.
that looks like this:
Your list will be the result of an action in your workflow I would think.
So do the post and then pick up the “result of step x” ?
Sorry, it wasn’t lack of luck … it was lack of a decent memory on my part 
Will have a go today.
Hi @NigelG I have a similar issue, cannot see how to save data from a repeating group list - see
I am trying to save a generated list within the same bubble application from repeating group results.
For example, I have generated 12 Months of dates based on an input from the user. I have added an individual check box, to save each record one at a time, which works. I then added a Check All box, that seems to work but does not follow the workflow and save the data.
Here is the application example: https://savelist-repeating-group.bubbleapps.io/version-test/index?debug_mode=true4
Can anyone please help on this and happy to pay for it to be solved?
Kind Regards
Omar
I think I solved it - I can create a list via Schedule API Workflow on a list
Now I will try to amend the data via Make changes to a list of things…
@NigelG Thank you for your example, I would not have been able to do this without it.

It is really hard. I think you can probably do it by creating a list of “inputs” and the associated “row” on a custom state. And then looking it up when you come to do the API call. Maybe.
@samuel I basically did a work around - see example workflow here:
I basically created a list of numbers for a repeating group to reference. So when a client filters these group through inputs, I can then create a copy of the filtered list via an API call to another to list. Basically I wanted the button to create X number of records in a click that is associated with a particular type.
I am then planning to amend those records via Make changes to a list of things, to add ID, which will allow me to add the list of inputs.
@emmanuel a create list feature is so much needed, if to avoid abuse, limit to 50. Otherwise, I am using custom states, which I yet to figure out, how to add to these records after say 12-15 seconds. Meaning that if the API call is slow, then certain records do not get an ID.

The schedule action on a list of things should be the way to go there. It’s not instantaneous but does the job.

On the topic of creating multiple things; in my case it’s not possible to use a scheduled action or invoked externally via API. So I need to create the Things as the users starts to interact with them and simulate their existence before that through Conditional settings. See:
I also needed to show a list (Repeating Group) of Things not yet created(!). I managed to do that this way:
