Running backend workflow on the input values inside the RG

Good day Bubblers!

Would appreciate some guidance on my case:

I have an RG where users put their values and after they press the button I would like things to be created based on the data they entered:

In order to achieve that I have created a backend workflow and run it on the list. Problem is that I can not pass the input values of the RG to the parameters of the workflow:

Any recommendation on how to overcome this issue?

Put the button within the cell( not convenient for UX) or use this plugin

Perhaps I’m looking at this wrong, but the RG is being populated via the inputs above, correct? So why would you bother turning the RG data into a DB Thing when you can pull directly from the values entered in the inputs?

If I understand your question correctly this is because we would like to analyze this data in the future and keep it in the database, we need this input data long-term

Oh yeah I’m not questioning why you would save the data to your DB, I’m wondering why you are trying to save the RG when the actual data appears to be coming from the inputs above. Let me clarify what I’m seeing:

  1. The user lands on this page.
  2. The user starts to enter data via the input fields near the top and (presumably) that data is being formated in a nice visual way to the RG below.

If that is the case, you wouldn’t save the data in the RG since no data actually exists (it’s pulling from the values entered into the the input forms above) so you your DB table would be saving the actual values the user entered in via the input forms.

Am I understanding that correctly?

EDIT: Taking a closer look, it appears you may have actual input fields in your RG, which if that is the case, ignore what I said above. When searching for the data to save on the backend, can you link directly to the field inside the RG or does it force the RG to appear?

The actual data comes from the inputs inside the RG.

Each RG cell combines data from the DB + input fields. I want each of these cells to be saved as a new data thing.

When searching for the data to save on the backend, can you link directly to the field inside the RG or does it force the RG to appear?

The RG fields just not appear
