Update Text Input tool (multiple records) as per users' input

Hi,

 

I have a requirement wherein new account numbers get added/included in my analysis and I'd like to build an app that lets the user input the new account numbers. 

 

This number of newly added records varies from 1 account number to about 25 account numbers. 

 

I have a text input which currently holds dummy data and I'm, trying to include interface tools which could help me replace the data in the Text Input tool. 

 

Dummy data:

List Box/Text Box:

The challenge when I try to use the List box or text box is that the 'Update Value' tool allows me to update just 1 record in the text input tool.

Any other suggestions on how I could get this in place? Thanks!

Hi @RajatK 

 

Please use the below value as c - value = '10000,20000'

This will read all the values in one row.

 

Then use the Text to Columns and split into rows.

Hi @RajatK 

 

Based on what i understood here, i would go with the Text Box tool:
