Add multiple records to a column via Textbox

Hello,

The user needs to add multiple records to a column via textbox. I tried using a separator, but the client refuse. They want a prompt or button to create another line. Is that possible via Alteryx?
I share with you an example of the workflow with the separator.

Thank you.

As @SoccerTil mentioned you can use the multi line input, and then you can load a many lines as desired. But this is technically still a separator. Unfortunately, its the best approach.

Attached is my preferred approach. Avoids the action tool which makes testing easier.

You can check the Mulitline box in the configuration of the Text Box widget,the split the data into rows with the Text To Columns widget using \n [carrage return] as the delimiter to get the rows input.

You client wants to see a single text box.

If they want to add additional lines, they'd like to click on a box, which creates additional text boxes. Each new line would have its own text box.

This is NOT currently possible in Alteryx.

Cheers!
