Dynamic entry list - Use Value as input to WS

Question

Hi,
I have a Dynamic Entry list, which displays the text, I would however like to store its value, so that I could use it as input for the Web service.
Any ideas, how that can be done?
Many thanks,
Dharmi

Dharmi Tanna,
In your model,
Drag a Data Store connector from the Compose task panel to the Design board.
Drag from the out port of the UI element whose data is to be stored in the Data Store to the port of the Data Store element.
Right-click the Data Store element and from the context menu, choose Define Data.
Define a virtual field for the Data Store by clicking the Add Field button and choosing the type of data that you want to store. Add more fields as required.
The field is added with a default name.
To define a default value for each field, enter it in the Default Value column.
Define the event used to transfer data to the Data Store
Right-click the connecting line to the Data Store, and from the context menu choose Rename.
Name the event with the same name as the action that adds items to the Data
Map values from the UI element fields to the Data Store fields:
Right-click the connecting line between the elements, and from the context menu choose Map Data.
In the Assigned Value column, choose a UI element field, enter a field name, or define a dynamic expression to specify from where to take the value that is placed in the Data Store.
