Hi

We have a requirement like we will have a dashboard page where we will have 3 prompts with dropdown and based on those selection we have to insert data. Now we have to insert back in DB table both slected values and inserted values.

I have idea like how to insert directly in DB table using writeback option, but i am not sure on how to writeback selected values through dropdown into database table.

Can anyone suggest.

    The built-in writeback is not and was never intended as a data entry tool. It's analytics, not an OLTP!

    Use APEX and you will be a LOT happier with the result!

    Use the prompt values in variables and have it passed to the column formulas
