How to save a temporary data on Bubble?

Hi,

here is the simple flow.

User adds items to the list (ReaptingGroup) from a field input + Add button click, without saving it to the database (temporary data).
User clicks the Start button and only after that the items in the list are saved to the database.

So how to save the temp data into the ReaptedGroup?
Or maybe there is another element that can hold temporary data?

Any prompt is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Custom states are used for this purpose. Custom states | Bubble Docs

Custom states will only help for simple datatypes like text or numbers, dates etc…

If you want to locally store an object type, custom states won’t help. And there is no vanilla solution.
You’ll need plugins for that. As I don’t use that myself I can not give any names but there are some plugins that help you create temporary things on the user browser.

In my case custom data types seem to be enough, thank you both!
