The quickform nodes are very useful for data input but is it possible to convert the output from a &nbsp;flow variable to input data?

\<Answering my own post again\> Using an R snippet I can extract the flow variables and output them in a table of my design but I am still wondering if there is a more elegant solution?

Hi,

Sure, you can use the "Variable to TableRow" node to convert flow variables in data.

Cheers
