Data tables transfer

Anvil Q&A
1

Hi,
I’m going to figure out transfer between two data tables.
So I have some data in Data Table No.1 and I wan to pick some rows and copy it to Data Table No.2.
For user that can looks like a Data table grid with check-boxes in all rows and with some button all checked rows are copied to the desired table No.2 that can be chosen for example by dropdown.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to deal with this? For example, where would be the best place to store all the data during the intermediate step of saving to the second table? Or how to most efficiently collect all checked rows?

Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll post the result here

That’s a matter of having the repeating row template send an event to the parent form, and having the parent form keep the list. Here’s a clone that shows how to set up the event handling, although it doesn’t use checkboxes so you’d need to modify the technique slightly to send the checked/unchecked status of the item: Anvil | Login
